o.k it has been a while but cabinet has just been completed. am glad i got it built in 3 sections as it is very heavy when bolted together.of to buy the stain and varnish for it today and hopefully get the first coat on it this weekend.cabinet maker has another job on so it will be a few months before he can start the hood.so that gives me plenty of time to get it setup and cycled.
background has been completed,just waiting to lay the lank down so i can silicone it in.
already have filter fluval fx5, lights twin 5 foot t5's (will be plenty of room in hood if i need to add more), heater 500 watt, tunze nanostream 6055 and single controller(not sourced yet) for a bit of extra flow in tank.
still not 100% sure on fish yet, there will be a few Synodontis multipunctatus. am leaning towards malawi's but a bit more research to do as to which type.
cheers
