New Tank

[bleepy]

Hiya,

I've just upgraded from my Rekord 120 (120l) to my new AquaStyle 980 (220l). The biggest change I have made is going from gravel to sand. I was very sceptical at first, and had several visions in my mind of it all going wrong. But now I wonder why I was so worried, it's easier to work with than gravel, in my opinion. Anyway, I've posted a pic aswell. I know it's not much at the moment, and yes the plants are fake before anyone starts asking

Anyway, I will hopefully be getting live plants within the next week or two, and they should grow quite nicely, as there's lots of headroom for them to reach up to. The fish aren't in the tank yet, but the general stock is barb's, swordtails, paradise fish, mollies and a few loaches. I want to change the ornaments to something more "natural" like bogwood or stone, but that will have to wait until my finances have recovered from this.

Total Dimensions (incl. cabinet): W 100cm x H 130cm x 47cm Depth.

I think it looks OK for now. Sorry about the blurred pics. Comments/suggestions welcome!

Looks good, though I personally would not have the thermometer where it is, I'd move it to one of the ends of the tank (opposite end of the heater). Also I had the same digital thermometer, after a while the rubber O-ring will give in, and water will leak in rendering the thing useless. The old mercury ones are best IMO.
