New loach tank

[loachfan]

It has been a while since I have been here. I have been busy building a new tank for my Botia laoches. It is finally done and the loaches are ecstatic!

I hope you enjoy!

The tank is: inside dimensions 94.5" x 36" x 24" (353 gallons) or 2.4 metre x 0.9144 metre x 0.6096 metre (1 336.25 litres).

Thanks everyone.

Marcos, right now I have an EHEIM 2215, an EHEIM 2217, and a 750 gph pond pump with attached sponge filtering the tank. I will be building a new internal filter and it will replace the EHEIMs. It will be attached to 2 pond pumps that push 750 gph each.

I have:
5 - Botia dario
6 - Botia almorhae
11- Botia kubotai
10 - Botia striata

2 - Schistura obeini (I think)
1 - Schistura ? (if it stayed still long enough I would take a picture and have the experts ID for me)

Beautiful!
Want to see it in a year when all the plants fill in.

[loachcoach]

Absolutely beautiful! I'm hoping to plant my larger tanks before long. Right now I'm practicing with my 20L.

As shari stated, that will look amazing when it fills out.
