Just thought I'd throw a few pics up of my newly acquired tank. It's got a long way to go still but got fish in tonight after they've been in tubs in living room for past 2.5 days.

Picked it up Sunday morning with plenty of help from Rovik and his old man. Cheers guys After a few phone calls to Rovik throughout the arvo to make sure things were set up correctly I had it two thirds full of water Sunday night with one filter running.

It ran for 24 hours but the water was still very black when I got home this arvo (from the ADA Aquasoil blend) so I drained it all and filled it slowly again which improved it slightly. When empty it gave me a chance to arrange my driftwood and plants (not that you can see it yet). I then got the big Eheim Pro 3 2080 (just fits) and UV clarifier running tonight before moving my fish over.

I'll post a few more pics when the water has settled down and I get my new lights as it looks like crap at the moment.

And still need to tidy up that mess of power cables on the right and plumb my drain through the wall
