Here’s my contribution:

180g, 75g sump… ~205g actual system volume!

It’s just getting back into stability after a full rebuild… current stocking is a handful of pearl gouramis, and 14 Sterbai cories… next up is 9-12 glass knifefish as the centerpiece, plus a few fancy whiptail plecos!

Some of those pics are a little older like the 75g was just before I rebooted it and sold off all (I thought) of the Turkanas. I have not taken pics of anything in the last 4 months. I need to.
