Thanks again for the compliments

Some of the stuff on this thread is priceless, lol.

I got a few shots in last night even though I didn't get a chance to put my cabinets in or finish my stand (I got a little busy with other Daddy duties).

Hopefully I'll get a chance to finish everything up the weekend after next.

My Severum's and convict really like hanging out in the back of the driftwood so they as well as the pleco and the BGK pretty much stay hidden except for an occasional chase or at feeding time. There is also a pair of fathead minnows that all of the fish seem to have left alone, the female appears pregnant so I guess they're treating pair as a renewable food source, lol.

The Manzanita is still leaching quite a bit of tannins even with 400mls of Purigen running, so for the mean time I guess I'll be enjoying a slightly black water setup. It really doesn't bother me much actually, kind of looks a bit more natural.

Thanks again for viewing/comments/critiques

Hadn't thought to do that yet, good idea though, will try to get one up soon.

Not too bad actually, the top is still partially open (around filter plumbing and on sides for maintenance) but I only loose about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water in between my weekly water changes.
