44G long angel tank

[er201]

Heh. Picked up a 44 at petsmart the other day with a help of a friend and now it`s turning into an angel tank.
It will be a barebottom unplanted tank. Gonna leave it bare as much as possible, livestock will be 15 congo tetras, 8 silver blue angels (till they pair up, then it will be a different kind) and 6 pepper cories.

The tank itself is a 48x18x12.

i like the stand, DIY?

[er201]

Yep, Only way I could get it to hold pretty much any tank with a 48`x18`footprint and 4 10gs at the bottom and have enough storage room at the very bottom.

Really nice tank, and the stand looks really well built as well!! I would consider this as a 44g breeder tank instead of a 44g long though.

Can't wait to see how this tank progress~

Well I got some free time today and I got the chance to paint the tank. Flat black 2 coats, back,bottom, and right side. Lights are still in progress along with getting the water to turn a little brownish (almost like black water but not too much)

Snapped some pics of the tank and alot of the angels hehe.
The angel pics are a little blurry, Ill post better ones soon

Looking very nice. The fish must be very happy with all that open room to swim about.

Well guys, the tank is pretty bare at the moment. I just got some spotted peruvian angels in there. There was 5 but 1 didn't make it during transport, I'm currently trying to source out 5 more. So total of 7 congo tetra, 4 spotted peruvians, 8 silver blue angels, and 5 peppered cories (which are for sale btw).

Currently waiting on some driftwood and trying to source out more peruvian angels at the moment. Here are some pics I just snapped up for you guys, pardon the dark ones where little to no blue are showing, I made my light so that it's in the back and not at the front.
