Finally managed to pull together the time for a 52 gallon long, see pics below. Has an aquael HOB filter, aquael light too, generic heater until I can move a fluval into it.

Lots of sediment from the sand, so I'm waiting on the temp rising and filter clearing it before I move in a couple of established sponges.

Plan is to go with 1 Green Terror, but it'll probably look quite bare for some years until the fish actually grows and turns into a nightmare; so I'm tempted to add my two blood parrots too.

Made a school boy error by neglecting to wash sand before dumping it in. Water changes tomorrow by the looks of things :thumbdown:

Looking really good! keep in mind that you should enjoy the GT while its small because thats the only time it will not be really aggressive. eventually, and i mean after a while you will miss him being tiny, so savor the moment. otherwise, nice tank and good luck
