Great pics, your tanks look really good. thanks for sharing them.
I love the last picture of the first set you posted. What kind is it?
You should think about entering that in the Fish of the Month.

I already did enter it! lol. The big blue one is a red top trewavasae. and the small one with the black bacground is a mix. it is a mix of the red top and a black lab. It came out stunning though! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks alot for comments, I take lots of pride in my fish tanks, I love cichlids also, they are really pretty, and have a lot of personality. The catfish tank does look pretty good to me, I am planning on planting something different than anubias. if you have any suggestions for mdeium light plants let me know and ill look into some. for the saltwater all I want so far is a lawnmower blenny, maroon clowns, and maybe some sand sifting gobies. once again if you have any suggestions let me know.

I really like your tanks. They seem to all be coming along real well.
I was wondering, how was the transition to SW? I have been thinking about it for a bit now, and I would be looking at a similar setup. A pair of Ocellaris Clowns and maybe a goby or two.
I know you might not have fish yet, but so far is it what you expected?
I'm debating what size tank to get as well.
Anyway, nice tanks!

it is going a lot easier than I was expecting. It may change once I get any fish in there but so far it has been just as easy if not easier than freshwater. I did start to get algae ALL OVER my tank but I now have tons of pods that have eaten half of it in two days. I grabbed some of them and put them in a mason jar in the window sill and I am hoping on culturing them. I have a baby anenome growing, coralline algae, and all sorts of Pods growing all in my tank. I would say go ahead and try it. It is really beautiful to look at and even fun to take care of I think. Mine is a 20 gallon and it cost a lot of money for all the rock and lights. But of course i'm just a teenager with no job so it seems like a lot. I think I got my rock for $2.20/lb on ebay, and a 65 watt light for $40.00 on ebay. I think those little 3 or 5 gallon eclipse tanks look good as saltwater tanks. My dad has one of those with a yellow-tail damsel fish in it. I don't know what to tell you about easiness yet because I have only had it for a couple weeks.

Glad to hear you are liking it a lot. I'm looking forward to setting one up, and I'm thinking of around 29g. Should be enough for what I'm looking to stock it with. The price will hurt a bit, but oh well haha. Should be worth it, cause I'd really like to have FW and SW going at the same time.
