Since I noticed what Tax Claus brought, I thought I'd post mine. I'm currently down to a 55 gallon, but here's some shots of it.

In there I have...

7 Black widow tetras
7 Serpae tetras
6 black neons
6 neon tetras (need more)
6 glo-light tetras
6 bumblebee gobies
3 green cories
2 peppered cories
1 Corydoras melini, or false bandit cory
1 spotted raphael cat
1 striped raphael cat
and a clown pleco.

Currently on order, I have an L052 flat banded butterfly pleco and a pair of starry night ancistrus, as well as a banjo catfish. So what do you have?

Nice tank! Like the natural look.

In my tank right now is just some community fish. Once it's all set up, and the right season comes around, I will get my "real" fish, and most of these community fish will become food.
Right now;
bunch of mollies and guppies,
4 bala sharks (they will be staying)
3 clown loaches (also staying)
1 ea pictus cat, silvertip cat, black knife, needle nose "gar", silver arowana, polypterus.

On the list to get;
Leichardti arowana, black arowana,
south american lungfish,
tiger shovelnose cat,
clown knife,
freshwater stingray,
oh and a couple others that fail me right now....

Basic 2.5 Gallon tank.

I had a Beta fish called Teal'c for a few years. Unfortunately died about two years ago, haven't gotten a new one yet. Tank should still be stored in my parents. Might eventually get another fish for it.

I have a pretty nice 150 gallon setup with a separate 15 gallon acrylic tank half filled with bioballs and the other half open cell filter foam. It's circulated by a fluval 404 and has an actual river stone bed. I had about 30 live plants and some home made slate caves and formations. Unfortunately last summer I went to the beach for the weekend to shoot a wedding and had an ammonia spike that resulted in a bacteria die-off. I came home and most of my fish were either dead or on the way to the bright light. Even my 14" giant pelco died. I took the surviving fish to a friends and gave them to him. I emptied the tanks and wheeled it into the garage. I have not had the paitence or $$$ to set it back up and restock it. I will dig around my external drives and see if I can find some pics.

The fish it was once populated with were:
12 2"-3" angels (for schooling)
14 neon tetras (for schooling)
6 Blue gouramis
6 paradise gouramis
1 14" giant Pelco (had him since he was 3")
2 small common pelcos
2 Thick lipped "kissing" gouramis
3 Snails (2" average)
5 glass catfish
3 fresh water shrimp
4 silver dollars

haha just kidding. Although that thing is sweet! I would have to ride the toilet facing towards the aquarium when doing my business though. :D

my neighbor has a crazy fish tank. I'd guess double the size of that 55 gallon.

I'll see if i can get some pics next time hes home from deployment.

my guess on size would be 6' wide by 4' high by 5' deep?

its like a oblonged rectangle shape.

Thats like 900 gallons....so....
My tank is 6 foot long by (approx) 2 foot deep and 26" tall. That's 210 gallons. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that your buddies tank is a 125. Thats a really common size. That's 6 foot long, 18" deep and 24" tall, if I remember correctly

Sadly all of my tanks died off after moving to my current house. We lose power several times a year and my 2 living reef tanks could not take it, even with battery backup pumps.

We USED to have;
1x 55 gal reef tank with live rock, triggers and we later found out, one eel. (plus lots of shrimp, some snails and other fishies)
1x 35 gal hex live rock eel tank
1x 35 gal freshwater tank (mostly feeder fish, some other interesting stuff)
1x 35 gal brackish tank with some scats
1x 10 gal tetra tank with dividers.

This does not include the 2 tanks used for the live rock filters. They were actually small fish tanks with a plexi separation for the bio balls and charcoal filters. I sold those puppies to another aquarium shop since they were well established and the guy that ended up buying them replaced some canister filters. He still has them and his tanks look like any living reef you would find in the wild.
