I'm to old for this
Simply awesome! If it looks anything like the 612 when done, it will be phenomenal.
Thank you, everyone! ^^
Here's the tank today. We haven't put the lights yet, as they should be hanging from the roof. The most of our fishes have moved in (we used BioDigest living bacteria ampulls to give it a quick start) but the clown loaches (26 of them) are still in the 612. The new ones (which were actually quite large and old) had had way too small of buckets when at their previous owner when they were waiting for us to collect them. Because of that, many of them sufferend lack of oxygen and were in a poor health, so now we are keeping them in piece for few days. We have added stresscoat and such and the water is good, so they are looking just fine at the moment, but better still keep them in there for a while. Clown loaches get white spot very easily after great amounts of stress, so that's the reason for doing so. If they are fine in few days, it's all good and they can move, too.
But the biggest and the oldest we sadly lost yesterday night.
Lack of oxygen made too much damage. I'm so angry about the previous owner! He should have known that he can't put 20 really large fishes in two buckets for hours! And that's why few of them died.
It has just died (I took this picture because of it's size) so we took it off (we tried to make it come together in a separate bucket for a half an hour but it passed), made sure it was really dead and then buried it. I cried so much.

Sorry for your losses
The tank looks amazing though! I'm sure your remaining fishies will love it

I'll try to take some more pictures for you guys today. There haven't been too much progress in the tank for the last few days as there's still no lights.
But our new, little fire eel (only 25 cms tall at the moment) learned to eat from my hand!
And the gold spot plecos have paired. ^.^

Sorry I meant plans fish wise?
Hmmm... We already have L001 x 2, L142 x 2, a fire eel, 25 clown loaches, a striped raphael catfish and few synodontis catfishes of few kinds, so we are not quite sure if we are getting anything else, and if yes, what. Can't be small due to predatory fishes, and we dislike cichlids at the moment.
