I wouldn't be looking out the window every 10 sec. that is too time consuming. I'd just setup a lawn chair out front, grab a beer and wait.

so the tank came. substrate is in, filter is up, ready to rock. pics will be up by week's end
having trouble with the pics but it's up and running.
FYI: for those of you that like the fluval fx5's, i just got one for $200 on ebay. a guy has a few for sale and if you're on the east coast, the shipping isnt bad. it's costing me $210 altogether.
So i'm receiving the extra FX5 so i'll have 2 running on this. I am also waiting on my estes black sand for the motoro... and last but not least, I am expecting my Tigrinus and 3 red-tailed cudas by week's end. The only thing that I wont have is my black aro... I am looking for a juvie. everybody has 8" or more. oh well. I'll find one eventually. so my final stock list will be as follows:
1 Tig
3 red-tailed barracudas
1 cichla monoculus
1 motoro stingray
1 black arowana (not until I find a juvenile or my other guys get big enough to deal with a 10" one)

my new 220gal. tank with amazon swords and java fern... if you look close you can find my baby motoro and cichla mono.
thank you. right now i'm using flourish fertilizer to keep these mother plants happy but I am trying to figure out how i'm going to get a steady flow of CO2 in there. I have the cheap method that involves the sugar and the activators but i want a less messy solution to this. still waiting on the tigrinus baby and the red-tailed cudas. i'll keep the tig in a 30 gal. to grow out. are they fast growers?
