    Custom background
    Hood with 6 balasts (36wX4 and 30wX2)
    10 Tubes ( including2X syalvania growlux, 1 GLO gorw tube 4X coral blue tubes(just thrown in cause otherwise i'm gonna bin them))
    Dolphin H500 HOB filter
    30kg of Black Gravel
    Large Mopani root (many water changes later so no leaching)
    2 small powerheads (which i have used to diffuse CO2)
    2 heaters 1X250w 1X300w
    All worth more than my asking price so u get the following for free
    Plants

    3 types of anubia (3X extra large ones, 2X medium ones and 3 nana)
    large riccia raft (about 3 hand fulls)

    2 medium swords
    2 large(45cm tall) Echinodorus osiris
    lots of vallis
    Proserpinaca palustris ''Cuba'' also known as mermaid plant http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Proserpinaca+palustris+&meta=&rlz=1I7ADRA_en

    Guys, I have seen this tank. It's really awesome. Unfortunately, my Minister Of Finance has cut the fish budget, so no additional tanks for me for a while.

    Can I have your Bitaeniata!! Pretty please!! Lol! Love those fish!

    I was seriously impressed with this tank when I popped in a few weeks back, and if I had the cash and space I would buy it in a flash!!

    If anyone wants a great tank, I would seriously recommend this tank!! The background alone is very impressive! I believe Derrick made the background himself!?

    Good look with the sale mate, and if any Apistos or Vallis are available I'd happily consider them!

    Cheers
    G!

    How the hell do you okes keep the glass so clean?

    I always always always have a bit of algae growth at the gravel level, but it seems nobody else ever has that problem.


    Awesome photos by the way!

    :date:Look hun I bought you all the gifts you want for Valentines Day, oh please would you be so kind to buy this tank for me, or allow me to buy it atleast? :bigsmile:

    Derick I wish I could take this beauty of your hands, but persuading the other half is a bit of a trivial task. Maybe I should ask the inlaws for help in convincing her.
