Here are some shots of the tank with gravel and the light hung up!

Just gotta sleeve the chain in black tube (maybe )and hide the wire.

Looks great mate that light is unreal. How much did it cost you to put it all together in the end.

Mounted as you see it, $1200. a lot but the look is very nice and that and the lifespan is what I was chasing.

I'm running it on setting 2 of eight at the moment too.
Looks more natural with a little less powerful light and the fish seem to colour up more when is not too bright.

I got the tank and cabinet through Paul at Morley.

Don't faint when you get the price..........
And please remember quality is not cheap.

Got the filter from Aquotix, Krystal helped with that one.

Good luck.

They just restack the gravel as they like.

These Rough Cichlids... Um Yea Maybe Java Fern/Anubias Tied Onto Some Rocks Would Be Ok And Avoid The Digging Problem Probably Larger Variety's Of Anubias Like Minima/Congensis

 

Also Good Things About These Plants Is They Require Very Low Light, Little To No Nutrient Suppliments And Grow Well In High Ph/Harder Water Also They Are Slow Growing Meaning No Trimming Every Week
