Looks sweet, but that frontosa looks a little lonely  ;)

Yep "Frank" is a bit lonely at the moment, won't be for long though ;) He's finally eating well. When I first got him from the auction he would only take krill, now this past week he's eating pellets, styx, flakes and all sorts of stuff so I'm glad he's settled in finally.

Frank is no longer lonely. Already have a 6ft tank secured, damn these fronts, once you get one you want more! lol

LOL! Glad to hear you've got a larger tank on the horizon. Maybe you can still do discus yet in the 75?

Great looking fronts - definitely one of those fish that just captivates people. Are you planning on putting the 6ft tank in the wall as well or would be somewhere else?

6ft tank will be going in the other part of the shop, undecided if I plan to fake wall that one or not. Might do something a bit different with that far as the look of it, we'll see. Once the fronts go in that then the 75 will be back to a discus set up most likely.

Haven't had a chance to do much else with this one lately with all the work getting the house decorated and ready for the holidays, but managed to steal away about an hour tonight and get some vines added to the rock wall to get that jungle look I like.

Decided to do a planted setting on this tank. First batch of plants just showed up (java fern) still waiting on the java moss and Anubias to show up this week. I plan to make the 3DBG where I can attach the java fern directly to the 3DBG so it looks like a living rock wall.

Still have to build the 3D background once I get time after Christmas but started planting the frontosa tank this evening. This is only half the plants, and still have a bunch of moss that will be attached to the 3DBG once done.
