I don't have any pics of the pictus or BN pleco yet, but I'll get some soon.

And a few more (these were taken about an hour after the lights turned off, so the Dragonfish, Eel, and pictus were much more active).

It looks great! It also looks like your diatom bloom is already starting, which is not surprising given all the silica sand in there. Just be patient and wait it out, and keep the leaves of the plants as free of it as possible. Frequent water changes right from the start will help (the biggest issue is the free silica still floating through the water column)

Great photos -- and really great looking fish. I can imagine they really appreciate the big tank.

Yah, the algae/diatom stuff is irritating, but it isn't too bad yet.
The fish definitely like the bigger space. The 3 angels now actually swim like they're part of a school, rather than chasing each other around the tank. The eel and goby both enjoy being able to actually swim around.
I think the only one who's not super happy is the pictus, because he's used to having a better hiding spot than this tank provides. He'll get used to it, though.
I also picked up a school of Bleeding Heart tetra's today. They're in the 20g for now (its been empty since I moved the other fish to the 125g). There are 14 of them right now, and I'm going to pick up probably another 10-11 of them next Tuesday. I'm going to be putting them in the 125g as well. I know that they'll be small enough for the eel to eat once he's fully grown, but I think they'll be ok. They are fast enough to keep away from him for the most part, and big enough I don't think he'll immediately see them as food.

They're a pretty tall tetra too...they should be OK. I have seen similar tetra species (like diamond tetras) full grown, and they are fairly large.
