          At this point, there is no need unless you wanna come over and look at the Chilambo's. I have rigged the light up (looks Janky) so the tank has lights.. Night lights are on right now and it looks interesting.. I have to see if it messes with the fish to much. We will see. For now I am just looking at the Kiku swimming around in the 180. Glen is to bring over the Chilambo tomorrow !! So we will see what my tank will really look like after that :)

              Step by step on how we built it ?
              I didnt take any pictures but what you have already seen in the previous post. I am not good at this whole documentation thing when its not required.

              Build the top portion first.
              Installed it. Removed Trim as needed on the wall and floor.
              Built a custom stand to fill out the space.
              Installed the stand. Had a couple of people come over and install the tank.
              Installed piping etc.. tested.. found it to leak.
              Tim came over today and we fixed all the problems
              Then we moved the fish into their new home.
              Then I rigged the light so I can see the fish at night, and all looks good.
              Tomorrow we will see what happens from there. The Chilambo should be coming tomorrow and being dropped off.. then we will see what the tank really should look like.
              10 Kiku in the tank looks like there are not many fish in there at all.

              I will post pictures once the Chilambo are in :)
              Then when the trim and other things have been done then I will post the last pictures.

                    That was actually very abrupt for Jesper.

                        I was thinkin' the same thing. Did the bioballs in your wet/dry come from another filter or is there no bio filtration established yet???? May want to up your water changeouts and monitor the N's until you got something going there...

                          Peter.. I will be checking it on and off as the next few days come along. I have seeded the filter with a sponge from another filter.

                            Like I told Jesper: Cycling is for the French.

                            We're dropping those fish in straight tap.
