Final setup looks stunning David well worth all your hard work , I bet you've been sleeping in that room hahaha 
My 2000L South American tank

- Start date
Thanks!
I should point out that the tank isn't really "finished", my sister is getting married in the US next March so any unnecessary spending on fish has been put on hold until after the holiday! I'm planning to build a wooden fascia to enclose the stand and hide the lighting. As for fish, I'm thinking of adding a small group of Uaru, and perhaps something schooling and mid-swimming, but my choices are fairly limited as it has to be; large enough to not get eaten, South American, not going to nip the geos fins, and available here in NZ. I think the only fish we have that fits the bill is the pink tailed Chalceus, and I'd be happy to have a group of them in there but none are available at the moment.
I'm really happy with how everything is running, the water is clear enough (given that there are four good sized Panaques making a hell of a mess!) and the Poret foam in the sump only needs cleaning about every two weeks.

Very nice tank, beautiful Geos and cats the aro is my least favorite. Not that's its not a great fish, but your geos are stunning.
Small group of uaru sounds good , that aro's gona be a beast in that tank in no time so whatever you choose it better have a fast growth rate hahaha 
A group of uarus would looks nice. I dont know if they are available in Nz but panda uarus would look great as well
