Only plants in pots and some nice pieces of drift wood for me.  A simple tank like that helps you keep things clean and can be interesting to look at as well.

We all know what i would stock it with. A couple of monster fish lol

LOL....we're trying for a community tank....

[LizStreithorst]

A pair of Discus, 10 or so Half Black Angels (preferably pearl scales),  4 BNs, 8 German Blue Rams, And a pair of Pearl Gourami's.

I'd like to see veiled angels, discus, jumbo neons, BN plecos, cory's, and some mixed medium sized fish..tetras, rams, Swordtails, etc the colors selected to accent the plants...maybe even a lone male Betta(red).....not too crowded, but active....

That's a pipe dream, Mug.  To be healthy, Discus need a temp of at least 82.  It's too high for Neons, which the Discus would eat anyway.  Jumbo Cardinals would work.  The Angels would have the Betta ripped to shreds in a day or two, although I've kept a Beta in a Discus only tank.  Sterbai cory's and Lazers do well at Discus temps.  The others do not.

Gosh, just writing in this thread makes me want a display tank!

I've had Betta's with angels with no issues...cory's can take the 82...I've got a bunch that thrive in it....Jumbo cardinals would be fine too, good suggestion...I'm just thinking a nice variety of top,med,bottom fish...colorful but not gaudy...blending well with the plants....
anyone else going to chime in..?

Found this a minute ago....not ideal, but very nice

Funny thing is I just built a 120 stand.   USed the same plans as I did for the double 55 gallon tank.... Looks like this:





Should have it painted by weekend   

Aron, is that 72" long???

[ilroost]

I have always had a soft spot for a nice school of harlequin rasboras.

[Mugwump]

HMMMMmmm..should we make it small/medium size fish population??...or go mostly medium/larger fish???

[wsantia1]

If you want Angels and Discus wouldn't med/large be better?

[Mugwump]

If we go larger, yes.....some like the smaller shoaling fish tho...I'd like some sort of 'combo'...
