Hey guys, i bought a 2x18x2 fish tank from Vebas the other week. Today i decided i better start setting it up.
This tank will become host to some Dumerilli Angels, some Apistos, a few discus and some schooling tetras. I am leaning towards Rummynose and Cardinals.
I will add some bottom dwellers later on once the tank is settled.
I will be using an Eheim 2213 Cannister and a small sponge filter for filtration.
My lighting is a dual T8 fluro with both fluros being power glo's.
My plant list will include Spiral and Broad leaf vallis for background plants. Java fern, swords and crypts as middle ground plants. My foreground plants will be some sp of Anubias and pygmy swords.
Here is the photo of the tank sitting in the corner of my room.
Tomorrow i will be adding a background and getting it in place. I will also be adding some Gilbert Gold gravel that i bought from Vebas.
Thank
Kyle

In record time too! I was actually going to mention about the desk bowing, not the thickest of wood.
