I spent way too much money this paycheck getting this tank set up, but it is worth it so far. I have been running the filter on an established tank for over a month now and placed it on the tank yesterday, after adding my sand.
I ordered some Seiryu stones and those have been placed, along with a couple of interesting ones from my collection, and a small piece of spider wood. I got a bag of floating plants from my lfs and glued some ferns and rocks together. A couple stems of watersprite have been left floating.
Currently stocked with 2 Firemouth Cichlid and 1 Blue Acara. I placed 4 of my many, many mystery snails in the tank.
I used generic black aquarium sand and a length of black fabric is stuck to the back with velcro. Running a Quietflow 75 (FYI, not very quiet). I have 2 200 watt heaters, and my two cheap "planted tank" lights I picked up from petco. No lid yet, but I placed a piece of heavy acrylic across the top.
