    Impressive set up indeed!!

    Hope to make a visit to see it in detail! Especially the water inlet and drainage that you've designed. Can't figure out where that is in your set up. In the cabinet?

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Joe, may I know where you get the rocks from? I am looking for them...

    Psst... I recommend tiger barbs... I have a small school of them now and I find them to be GREAT schoolers! Very cute and bubbly behaviours too!

    Your Loebelia cardinalis, are they the big-leaved version? What foreground plants are you contemplating? Or no foreground?
