Looks great!

I like the magnet type cleaners. Very easy to use and don't need to get your hands in the tank. Cleans most anything for me. If it's something extra stubborn I use razor scrapper but you need to be extra careful not to scratch. I should add that my tanks are glass. Might not be appropriate...

That makes sense. The controls on the Fluval seem way better and easier to use than the Finnex.

Interesting, I'm planning a 60" tank and I like the Fluval 3.0 but with the choices being 24", 36" and 48" I didn't think it would be a good combo to rest on the center brace so I was looking a two 30" Finnex ALCs. The ALCs seem to have a higher par also that will help with 30" vertical depth tank.

Aquascaping looks great and filling in nicely. Did you say you are using 2 Fluval 3.0 lights? What size, I know they come in 24" and 48" and you have 30" tank?

I kinda like the customaquariums sump system. Made of HDPE which is super strong and pretty hard to break. I prefer it to a glass sump. I have a quote from them on a new tank. Haven't pulled the trigger yet. It's a killer tank so you have a lot of options that I'm sure will look great...

I think a group angels would look great. Angels Plus has some beauties https://angelsplus.com/ . Also Mike's Green Bulgarian https://m.facebook.com/MikesBulgarianGreen/ has some nice looking angels. I plan to visit them both this summer.

Sounds like a nice set up. I'm between the Fluval and Finnex. The remote on the Finnex is kind of wonky but they come in 30" lengths and I think they're a little brighter which might be good for 30". So I'm thinking get two of them and rig up some support on the center brace. I made a screen...

Tank is 60"L x 30"H (vertical) x 24 W planted angel display being built by Custom Aquariums, Glass Fish Tanks, DIY Aquariums, Saltwater Aquariums Wasn't planning to have canopy. Going to plant the back half of the tank and leave the front open. Thinking a raised bed using this for my model...

Planning my planted tank and trying to figure the best lighting set up. lo-tech (no Co2) but 30" deep. So nobody make a 60" fixture that I can find so considering the Fluval 3.0 48" but wondering if there is enough spread to cover the outside of the tank space. Also thinking maybe two 30"...

Wondering glass lid or open top for planted tank? Not to worried about evaporation of fish jumping too much but for ease of maintenance, aesthetics and light to the plants?

Been thinking about/researching lighting. Wondering what folks think about a Fluval 3.0 48" for a 60" long 30" deep lo-tech planted tank. Little worried about the depth but if I go with low/medium light plants thought it might be okay. I really like how you can dial in the power and spectrum...

Came very highly recommended from Malik who has some super cool stuff but doesn't ship as of now. I don't really know Malik other than chatting with him but seemed like a good guy for what it's worth. I'm probably at least 3 months out from being ready for fish and will exhaust all...

L46 Zebra Plecos $125 hmmm https://nationwideaquaticsusa.com/pages/stock-list

Stopped in my LFS today. They had 3 little L46 zebras for $350 each. That's just crazy. Guess I wont be owning one.

Good luck! I really like the Leopard Frog plecos.

I might try this on my new tank build. Probably more money and fuss than what is needed but looks pretty cool.

Bummer, hope you have better luck on the new set up. How many and what size tank was your original set up?

coralbandit, have you had any success breeding them?

That's crazy! I could maybe pull the trigger if I could find some under $100 and get them breeding to hopefully offset the cost some. Probably not going to happen but nice to dream about.
