I'm thinking the Pacu got the angelfish that was in there

Soon it will be getting every else that is in there too.....
I'd consider giving him to a local fish store and starting fresh with a species that is compatible with each other.
Your tank will be much more active and enjoyable....

Pacu are returned to the fish store all the time. They will our grow any home tank set -up in a matter of 6 months-2 years. I have seen one get to be the size of a basketball. Like andy said bring it to a fish store and most likly they will trade for something better suited for your tank.

I just tore down and set up my tank again.
Change out the substrate to a solid white color and I think it looks even better!

Looks real clean man, only thing I'd do is get a solid blue or black background for it, would dress it up nicely IMO. Oh if there is room behind the rocks you could hide the heaters too, can't really tell from the pic if there is or not.

Background is on the list, I threw my old one out during the move.
I might try blue, had a black one and I didn't really like it much.

Good idea about the heaters!!

Hmm Okay so, I've read a lot and learned a little, decided not to go with the setup that was posted above for various reasons. I've ordered a custom Oceanic 156g Tank (60" x 24" x 24") that should be here in 3-4 weeks. I'm looking at table saws now and will probably pick one up once the tank is delivered so I can get cracking on a stand for it. Will post some pics once the tank shows up.

I also picked up a Nova Extreme 8 Bulb T5 Light Fixture w/ upgraded bulbs (I don't have the list in front of me but will post it later) It's a 48" Long fixture that should work fairly well for my tank, I may eventually upgrade the lighting to Metal Halides later but right now I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to keep so unless I want something that requires super high intensity lighting I won't bother. I plan to mount it on slides in the canopy above the tank so it can easily be slid out to replace bulbs or access the tank below.

Keeping fish is way fun. The servum i got last year is now has big as my hand and the placo is almost 10ins long.
