Looking good! So will you view this tank from all sides or will it have a background added? A background can be helpful in that it hides wires and equipment.

We actually moved our wine cabinet behind the couch so the tank could be viewable from both sides I do plan to hide the pipe and the wire though. The LFS will be making a timber box that goes over the pipe and I'm getting some extension cords for the lights so I can hide them better. That side of the tank has a black cover so I might just use some electric tape and tape them along the edge so they aren't visible at all.
Thanks! Had a massive internal war with where to place the tank. Worked out in the end!Sounds like your have a good plan and viewing a tank from both sides is very cool.
Aw thank you so muchyes, that's a very pretty house you have and I love the piece of furniture it's on. Looks great!
So the LR arrived on Friday and picked up the sand as well! Just finished aquascaping and adding sand. It turned out well but I got a bit of cloudiness when adding the sand. I read somewhere that you should wash the sand before adding but the LFS said don't worry it will just clear so I just added it =x. I'll wait for that to clear and then snap some pics.
I can totally see that happening! I'm already thinking of adjustments I can make lol. So glad the rock ended up being a manageable distance away from the glass. I read your post in your thread obviously after I finished and was like....uh oh ::gets out the ruler:: haha. I laid the rock out before the sand though and ended up sticking a hose in my return bulkhead to blow the sand off the rock. I guess that was slightly indicative of a manageable layout I suppose!Oops in my thread I included some things about aquascaping but I forgot that you already did scape your tank. I can't wait to see it! Most of us tweak it a little once the water clears up. In fact some of us never get done tweaking it.
Thanks a bunch! And You are in for a great vacation Also if you're single, be prepared to not leave! I'm originally from Las Vegas but came here 4 years ago for a vacation and met my fiance whom at the time was this random beautiful woman checking me out on the dance floor of some random club lol. Aussies and Americans have this amazing chemistry it's weird lol. However if you aren't single there's tons of great couple spots as well!Hey there! Love the tank! And sorry to hear of your rough luck with the LFS. I also saw you were from Sydney. I'm flying over for a personal vacation in April.You wouldn't by chance have any local spots I should check out while in Sydney would you? Looking forward to seeing this thing get some fish!
Thanks Dawn! (can I call you Dawn?) To be honest, I thought patience was going to be an issue but it was only an issue when I was waiting for the LFS to complete everything (still waiting on my timber box to cover the pipes! > ) , but just the tank as it stands now is so relaxing to watch for me. I could go ages just staring at it and discovering new critters and watching the flow go over the little random plants and listening to the waterfall in the sump. It's so mesmerizing and relaxing and I'm am just so happy to wait at this stage My fiance's like "fish fish fish" and I'm like :::massive relaxing relieving sigh::: lolLooks real nice. I'm sure you will get the flow worked out. Maybe not all your little hitchhikers but a lot of them will make it through the cycle. They are amazingly sturdy little creatures. Now for the part that requires patience. Its tough when you get this close but waiting now will save you headache and heartache later.
