I'm gonna take lots of pictures when I set i up..
Planning to make it a natural Amazone look with lots of very big roots.

It will be stocked with a big highfin Pangasius, two Tiger Showelnose,
some stinging catfishes (Fossilis), some other catfishes (have a variety of Synodontis).
3 quite large shocolate cichlids.

My 55 cm silver Aro made the fatal jump this month
(My brother left the top off..) The one on my avatar.
So I'm definitely am going to get me a new Aro!

And I really want a pair of Jaguar cichlids again.

Ideas welcome!
