I am so jealous Spurry. It looks great, although I'd prefer some plants and different type of fish in there but it doesn't mean it isn't beautiful. Do these two two fitlers cope with the bioload?

 

[Spurry]

i have another 2000L/H APS filter on there now and yep it cope ok mate, as for plant and fish thats everyone to there own lol......

 

[snazy]

Yeah, I know. These type of tanks like yours are hard to appreciate on pictures alone. It's way better on video. I llike my APS cheapo filter too. I changed the floss to sponges and it's even better, hasn't clogged or decreased the flow and polishes the water like a dream. I want to setup a no plant tank next and I feel it's going to be a challenge to make it look alright.

This is very similar to my aims for my new setup. I just put the order in with NDAquatics yesterday. It's only 4' x 2' x 2' but definitely big enough for my purposes. I'm also going to be running with APS filters, LED lights, sandstone, sand/coral sand mix (probably) and Mbuna. You have good taste, my man!

ND Aquatics are awesome tanks/Cabinets, I see you went without the plastic feet too, I also went without the handles (I have young kids), so have magnetic push catches on there
 
Here is my tank

It does have plastic casters/feet my be hard to see
Yep they are nice tanks

 

[Lorne]

Ah, Ok, I had them leave them off, I'm Arachnophobic, so didn't fancy having spiders living under it ha ha ha

Ah well, not just an optical illusion then... Looks exactly like my new fitted wardrobes, wood finish, handles and all. Perfect match. Making me think bad things about having a matching set, not sure where I would sleep though!

 

[Spurry]

thank so my tank like your wardrobes hmmmm i think in there somewhere is a complement ?

Looks the business. Currently saving up for one myself, price of their stuff seems very reasonable.
