125 gallons freshwater fish tank (mostly fish and non-living decorations) - Ive had this tank for under a year now. I have a 125 gallon tank made into a community tank with assorted South African Cichlids, a Albino and a Tiger Oscar, Afra Cichlid, Tiger Barbs, Severums, Tire Track and a Peacock Eel, Danio Minnows, Red Tail Rainbow Shark, Silver Dollars, Plecos and more... I use a 48" T5 double ballast light, a Fluval405 filter, Aqueon 30-60 waterfall filter. I have Led lights for a little extra color and a curtain wand to keep the fish more active. Most of my plants are artificial but I have 50 lbs of live rocks in there for the new small cichlids that were born. I have a splitter in tank to separate Albino Oscar since he ate a dozen of my other cichlids in there. I have a little over 50 fish in there right now. I had an addiction to buy. Slowing down letting it chill and run their course. Enjoyable little hobby

Description: Starter community tank just figuring out species. Simple set up with live rocks, 2 40 inch L.E.D. tubes with bubble 48" curtain bubbler. 2 set of dome lights 240w output daylights. T5 HO Lights on the way with lumen moonlighting. I also have a 225 L.E.D. for them at night.All lights on remote control switch relay. I have 2 waterfall filters up top One with a Ammonia Nitrate Nitrite Pouch and Other a Sponge and a Fluval405 (8 Compartments for filters) Cannister Filter below that has zeocarb, biomax, and carb filter, and ammonia nitrate nitrite remover.

Advice: Plan what you want to do with the tank otherwise be ready to spend a whole lot of money on fish. Also if your starting community and unaware if they are compatible keep a night light for them cause they may get eaten over night

I want to make one one day. I just changed my tank up i got 2 9 inch oscars, a 17 inch Silver Arowana, 18 inch Pacu, 14 inch Tire track eel, several severums and silver dollars, and some suckers and jewels left. The rest got eaten. I gave up buying small fish and just went big.
