Also, what do Blackberry's get to? Are they like Thin Bars or are they more like Wide Bars?

, regarding your question on setting up the Eheim 2260/62 series filters, Here is an older link on setting the filter up, filling with media and rotating the pump on top to allow for clearance under the aquarium stand as well as some other tips.
Thank you very much for this. It will come in handy!
Not sure but I bet you could get even more great info if you started a new thread about SD's in the Other Characins sections (wink wink).
I guess I'll do that now. Got to say I'm a little apprehensive after what happened with this one lol.
Well hopefully as you say above your learned some things (about both fish keeping and posting in an online forum), so it should hopefully be an easier experience (for all) when going to other sub-forums. That said, not everything is cut and dried in this hobby and you will run into different opinions (probably just more so with Arowana, there is a lot of debate about best practices etc.).
Anyway besides stocking, as other have mentioned I'd be equally if not more concerned about filtration set up and learning about the nitrogen cycle etc. Good travels to your new tank, it will be an exciting day when that arrives.
I guess I'll work on one today or tomorrow.
And a quick off topic question. As I get pictures of my tank where can I post them? I would like to have a thread that I can update etc as I get more pictures from the tank makers to when I receive and setup the tank. Where would an appropriate place be?
This is kinda all over the place. I put my builds in the diy section cause i do a lot of stuff like stand and sump setup from scratch myself. Some people will put their tank threads in the respective fish section (if you had an SD tank, yours could go in "other characins" section.) Some people try to replicate the natural environment that their fish come from and so chronicle their tanks in the "biotope/natural tanks" section. And some people just seem to put their threads right on the ol' general aquaria discussion board.
Maybe a mod or admin can give you the best answer though. Not for me to say for certain.
I would post your build thread in the Setup and Filtration forum since it sounds as if most of your project will be having the tank built professionally, you already have the Eheim filters and will eventually be asking about substrate, heater(s), other potential equipment, water movement, lighting, etc.
Just pick an appropriate thread title, add dialogue and pics as the thread progresses with your updates. If you are not positive on what fish or tank mates you will be stocking, just title the thread as something like My (insert tank size) Tank build or something similar.
Some people start out with a general idea of which fish they want to keep and then change their minds down the road but a general build and set up thread is nice to see.
