This is beautiful. 9/10!
This is the Juwel Rio 125?
We’ve got a well planted tank, with a deep, natural substrate. Interesting background. Appropriate décor and stock. Good scaping. Good equipment – you’ve upgraded from the poorly designed built-in filter.
I really like the Eheim AquaBall/BioBall you’ve got. I personally prefer the Pick-Up’s design, but they’re flow rate is low.
Looks awesome!
Some things to note:
You could lower the Air Stone to hide the view of it, or make it into a feature. Do you have Check Valve on the line?
The thermometer could be moved to the other side of the tank to ensure spots are appropriately heated. Or better yet, add a second thermometer.
I probably wouldn’t have stocked 2 groups of Livebearers, or 3 groups of Fish. So numbers will need watching as they populate.
With the knowledge of a Check Valve, 9.5. With a second thermometer, and having a plan in place for Platy and Molly fry, 9.7! 😉
Far-Drifter on
Niiice. About 10,000 times better than my first tank. How long have you had it? Looks established, especially since the plants have grown out and the fish are fully stocked. I’m going to guess a year or two? What kind of lighting are you using? Neons and platies are a good choice.
