Pics So Far

[Rodders]

Well have the internet at home now at last, so heres some pics of my 2 metre tank so far.

Firstly most of the things

Another

One of ther filters, I have two of these

Gravel nutrient for plants

Nutient put in after 2 thirds of gravel put in

Filling up, took quite a while!!!!!!!

Close up of regulator and solenoid you can just see in the back.

This is where the CO2 bottle is (2KG) and one of the filters.

Got to wait another week for the plants, they said their order didnt come in, my tubes will come when the plants do. One of the filters if noisy, think theres some air trapped, but cant shift it, so getting them to check it over when they deliver plants.

Currently its running in the dark, fishless cycling.

WOW thats a very nice tank........its big.......looks fantastic

Very best of luck with it, it should look great when its planted up, just watch that CO2 cylinder doesnt topple over, i dont know if you have kids in the house or not but accidents will happen, it might be an idea to strap it to something solid, id be nervous anyway.

Looking forward to your progress mate very impressive setup.

Good luck with the tank and keep us posted with the update pics.

That's a nice looking setup. Love the stand. You're gonna have so much fun!

CO2 has a flat bottom, only me and girlfriend so no worries on knocking it over.

Thanks for comments so far.
Soon as I get the plants ill get more pics on here.

As for price, its was expensive, but I got a good deal, so it was very worth it. Its a Rena tank by the way.

How much lighting are you putting in?

 

[Rodders]

Got 4 tubes, 6 foot long (ish). about 200 Watts. Its uprated lights too, but cant remember exact details, but my mate in the LFS recommended them cause they have them on a large tank set up they have.
The under side of the lid is smooth white metal as well, so that will reflect quite nicely.

Killer tank! What are your plans for eventual inhabitants (flora and fauna)?

 

[Rodders]

Going to be a big community tank. I want to keep the fish from my smaller tank, so will just inlarge on that. Huge shoals of all types or fish.
Will be plants, bogwood and rock....
