Give them a call and ask for prices. You COULD always use an internal glass model but I prefer the digital ones and situate the readout in my hoods. It looks like a really nice tank though. Can't wait to see it filled!!!

congrats on a stunning, nice size tank and looks great, makes the room, I bet.
Maybe try and blend a few of that great backgrounds rocks(river stones), somehow 'leading' to your limestone.
Not trying to tell you how to setup your tank..... But would be nice to take advantage of the awesome 'depth' the scene gives....somehow.
I doubt I'd have the talent to make it work, but.
Nice choice with the Tang species tank, I'd say a nice big American Cichlid Display..... But I would of course.
All the best with the setup, now the fun starts, enjoy.
Cheers

Then laid out all the limestone and coral bits on a couple of towels
And then I put the limestone and coral bits in

I was going to hook up one of the canister filters tonight, but when I opened the lid of it, I then realised that I forgot to drain the water out of it when I shut down the previous tank. It stank so bad that I could barely breathe when I was cleaning it out. I'm thinking that I might just stick with one canister filter now, a new Fluval FX5. See how I go. I might fill with water in a few days time. Still not 100% on the layout of the limestone bits yet.

I'd already have water in it and a few mouthfuls bit it'd look crappy

They're out of that background steve, so I got the next best one.
I'd have to use 2 hydor inline heaters for a tank that size. Don't think I can go inline with the piping that comes with the FX5, and I don't want to muck around with changing the piping. Will be keeping it simple. Plus I don't think there is a better option than just using one Jager heater.

I do have to say that those Jagers punch above their weight.
The Hydor theo intank heaters seem to have the same thermostat safety arrangements as their inline ones according to their blurbs...
