    I have started to add some fish to the tank. The fish i thought i would add last and would be the hardest for me to find, I got first thanks to @Micheal11. Geophagus sp. Tapajos Red Head
    Stunning fish and I can't say enough how much they love to dig in the sand.

    Added some fish to the tank and it is really starting to look nice...

    10x C. Sterbai
    10x Geophagus SP. Tapios "Red Head"
    3x L071
    1x L102_Hypancistrus_Inspector
    2x L235_Pseudolithoxus_Anthrax
    12x Dantum Angels

    Never know it is so difficult to get a proper pic of a large tank.

    Hmmm, those Hygros look familiar. Wonder where they came from :-? :p

    Good to see that they are growing. If you get the conditions right then they grow very quickly.
