    No fish yet! Still waiting for them to arrive. I'm letting this tank cycle properly before adding any livestock. I'll be adding some ottos and maybe some cardinals a dither fish.

    Besides, I still need to get some plants and co2 into this system.

    Co2 is in, and so are the plants. Fish arrive on wednesday. All looking good for their arrival. I think they will like their new home... What do you think?

    Well if they don't like it, then I certainly won't mind taking it off your hands...

    I have Apistogramma inka in the tank now... Overnighted by @Altum - dude, they're awesome! Stunning. Took a video clip just after I popped them in the tank... I'll upload to YouTube a bit later.

    Awesome!

    I believe it's tank bred. Got them from Altum. They are beautiful fish.

    Yeah, they're both in the same tank. But the tank is 1000mm x 500mm x 600mm (H)... So it's plenty big enough for both pairs.

    Tank is around 400L total, with the sump. I'm running 4 x 39watt T5's and 2 x 30watt T8's. I'll get another 4 T5's soon.
