    Hey guys,

    My tank is still under construction. I'm getting the new lights sometime next week. (2 x T5 10 000K) and with the new lights also more plants.

    I currently have in the tank:
    1 x All Silver Angel (My baby)
    3 x See through Guppies
    2 x Swordtails
    1 x Swordtail/Platy Hybrid
    3 x Molly

    I am planning on getting 3x Panda Cory's and 3x Kuhli Louches as soon as i can and also 3 more Angels. Maybe i'll get some tetra's as well for some shoaling effects as soon as the plant system is up and running.

    Ill post pics here as the progress goes. I can't wait for my lights! :D

    Anyway, tell me what you think of the progress?

    For those who can remember how the tank looked a few weeks ago, (there was a post under livestock as i wanted to get rid of some cichlids), do you think it looks better :p

    Okay, here are some more pics! got my Eheim filter busy aging in the tank and got my 2 sunglo T5 10000k lights in.

    (Tank is currently filtered by a hang on back on one side and a corner filter on the other :worried: so the Eheim filter will replace them. I understand it's a good make?)

    Adopted some new children

    2x Panda Cory's (Sooooo cute!)
    1x Some or another pleco thingy that stays small (see pic)
    2x male guppies (one snakeskin and one multi-color) but they are camera shy.

    The cleanup crew is now in place in the tank. Yay. Just waiting for the new filter to mature then the tank is basically ready to grow the vallis wall and get some more angels. Then the work on my nano starts.

    Tank is starting to take shape.

    What do you guys think?

    Looking good. The older it gets, the better it will look! My plants are starting to fill the tank now (no fancy CO2 etc - low tech). Corys are probably the most amusing fish I have...get 2 or 3 more and you'll have some real entertainment!

    The black Angel died somewhere in the night :( so sad. But the rest of the seem to be doing well.
    Thanks for the feedback guys. Waiting for the plants to grow a bit more then I'll post some more pics. I want to get 3 or so more Panda's I love those little fish.

    Hi @Milamber,

    Your tank looks very nice.

    Please tell me the name of the two plants you got in the middle of your tank ? (They got the small & round leaves.)

    I think @azurekoi could answer that for you. I have no idea what they are. They grow easily though.
