I have been stalking the forums for a few months and throwing a couple of comments in here and there. Finally i can show you all the start of my new aquarium. I dont really have any decent photos yet, although i snapped a few quick shots of the fish i have in there while they were feeding yesterday. There is still a huge amount of work left to do before i can say it resembles a decent tank, but i had to get some water in there before i left for work a few weeks ago.

 

You all may have seen the tank for sale on here a few weeks ago. it is a 4x2x2 that came with a custom built stand. The photos that were put up on the for sale thread didnt really give a good impression of how tall the stand was. I like it though, I am 6'2" and it saves me squatting to look in the tank. The tank stand will be getting a very cool paint job in the near future, so stay tuned for that one.

 

To do in the near future:

  • Overflow and sump
  • Better substrate for plants
  • Remote logging so I can check it at work. (Parts ordered, FIFO worker 2 weeks on 2 weeks off)
  • Cichlids

To do eventually cash permitting:

  • CO2 injection
  • Hood
  • Breeding
  • Bichir (Breeding?)

That's a sweet looking tank, I must admit I felt a wave of relief when I read that you are going to paint the cabinet.
Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Good luck,

Jackson.

So they are over a month late, but here are a few snaps :)

 

Matty, neither do I really, but it has a bit of sentimental attachment that I am not ready to let go of yet :)

I also made a simple time lapse the other day. Nothing super exciting but it is cool to see the fish cruising around all day.
