It's totally awesome bookpage.
I love the cave arrangement at the back. The fish seem to love it too :D

That's very nice! I'm envious.
Listening to the audio made me have to pee, though. ;)

Thanks, guys, for your comments. Have been wanting this tank for several years. I kept fish back in the 60s and 70s and have been keeping them for five years now. Love my loaches. Jim, that is the 125 you hear in the video. I had lowered the water to catch the last fish from it and had not drained it yet. So, next video will be nice and quite. LOL

That's really good. I love that for once someone with a large tank has adequate filtration as well.

By the way, the tank really looks huge on those pictures :D I am drooling here, I am so jealous :lol:

Thank you loach. Don't think there is ever a time when there is too much filtration. LOL

BTW, where do you live? US or ...

Thank you, Nancy. It has taken me a while to get it, but the wait was worth it. Best thing I like is not more water changes. LOL
