    Hi Guys

    Got my 200l Community tank setup this weekend. I have made my canopy and will have a few picks of that in the DIY section over the next few days. Thanks to all members on this side as this forum has a wealth of info that has educated me endlessley so that i could have the satisfaction of my new 200l Community tank. Now the wait begins for my 550l cichlid tank :smile1:please let me know what you think and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Nice looking start. Are you going to enclose the stand?

    It looks good but maybe consider replacing those plastic looking ornaments for some real decor! Some spiderwood and dragon stone would look great in this set up.

    @adrianr - Update your profile to tell us your location. Driftwood is readily available here in CT. Trying to find large pieces is often a problem...
