Am hoping to have more details on Friday when the plumbing and gravel (black diamond quartz) goes in
Here are some photos to enjoy (the tank is not sitting in properly as still doing stuff with the plumbing, the room behind the tank leads straight outside which is :D)

Thanks all
I think the tank is about 650 gallons approx
I am sure I will probably put in other fish, but as it is a giant display tank and viewable from most parts of the house, I will want a community type tank. Which is what is holding me back from a Jardini. I had a jardini in a community tank with balas and rainbows in a 200 gallon, and never got aggressive even up to about 20" / 50cm. But as we all know they can be psycho!

Yeah I agree about the sump, looks top quality. I'll have to look into them, it's hard to find good manufacturers of large tanks, thanks.
