    @rednox, your setup already looks nice. You making me jealous because mine is still dry. Keep the updates coming.

    one step

    got the black background in had to make a mod for the inlet of the cannister and so far so good still running a bit high on the ph lvl, its +- 9 so a bit high but ya sorry as the surroundings of the tank does not look good but its whats going in side that matters.
    will add a clay pot tomorrow.

    @rednox Nice tank, did you buy it at Birds/Fish For Africa? Just asking because the price writing looks familiar.
