Hi all,
So after the nightmare I went through when I first got the previous tank, I went out and bought a "clean" (No Blue stains) tank and let it mature nicely, with the remaining inhabitants (2x longfin Zebra Danios & 4x Serpae Tetra).
I then added my other Sand Stone rocks I had left and added some ceramic material to the filter. Added some livestock bit by bit, with a few days in between.
First added 2 x German Blue Rams & 4 x Longfin Zebra Danios
Removed my Serpae Tetra (They were biting the Ram's fins)
Then added 7 x Neons (LPS I got them from has got the most amazing quality fish I've seen to date).
Then added 5 x Glowlight Tetra
All seems well, doing 10% WC every second day just to make sure the tank doesn't spike due to increase in livestock (Not sure if this is the right thing to do, but all fish seem very happy).
Also added 2 bunches of Java fern, and a BUNCH of Vallis for the back.
Still need to do something to the right side and front of the tank, not sure what plants I want to use, but will see what I can find.
Here's a pic I took this morning, all doing very well and seem happy. :)
Currently running 1 x 14W 6200k "Daylight" T8 and a pinkish 13W T8 (Going to upgrade to another bright white T8 soon).

This time round, I feel I did a better job of making sure I take my time to make sure everything works out nicely.
What do you guys think? Comments, advice, criticism welcome!! :)
P.S. Pics don't do justice (I know why Zoom :D ).. I'll try and take some high tech pics tonite with the GF's digital camera, this was taken with the BB.
