Not really new to fishkeeping, used to have a lovely tank with Malawi's, moved house and sold it because my OH's sister was moving in with us for a while (NEVER AGAIN!) anyway, went to the garden centre at the weekend and found a beautiful tank, just had to buy it.

All Setup and ready to go.

Tank - 230L Aqua One Oakstyle.
Lighting - Fluval 30watt Bluetooth AquaSky Light
Filtration - 1 x All Pond Solutions 1400EF+9W UV, 1 x AquaManta EFX300

Temp - 26.5C

Looking lovely.

Hope to get to know you all better soon!

Thanks! Okay confession time, it's actually some wallpaper we had in the cupboard under the stairs

It looks really real! (Of course, I am pretty easy to fool. )

On August 1st, our tank of the Month contest will feature tanks sized at 30 US gallons and above. I hope you will enter your tank no matter whether you are at your final goal or not.

Thanks Everyone, not sure if any of you have had any exposure to the Fluval Aquasky Bluetooth LED light? I spent 2 hours yesterday configuring a smooth sunrise/sunset with reds etc and then bringing in blues for night. Thankfully it has a preview that runs through the whole 24hour in 1 minute. Looks great though.

Well i dont have the light but i do have a finnex 24/7 that is very similar.

Looks really cool. I just let the light from my windows give the sunrise and set my tank lights to go on at 10 am and off at 9 Pm where a dim light from a room lamp stays on until 10pm then darkness. All my tanks are older (1985-1994) so I have not tried the LED lights but they do look very nice.
