Thanks, I cannot wait to actually get the glass in. It was all actually suppose to be delivered today with the 3d background and the sump, but it got delayed till this wednesday :(
I will post up pics of the setup in the thread when it is finished this wednesday.:) Cant wait to aquascape this guy, got a stack of driftwood ready:D

The filtration will be just a weir overflow with a large wet/dry and bio balls at the moment. Since it will be primarily bio filtration thinking about chucking in an FX-5 for the mech filtration, but not sure how to go about it yet, will have to wait to see it all set up.

Stocking....This changes depending on what day you ask me!!:nilly:
From the 200g tanks above, will be putting in the big pearsei (cichlid) he is huge now about 12". The balas who are also pushing the 12" mark.
I have a small 3" Thinbar datnoid, I want to chuck him in there after he is off the live food.
I will then either get a mix of silver dollars (only if i can find the black-barred type) if not then a school of tinfoils and lemon-fin barb.

Also should be getting an QLD lungfish :D
But I also want to have a few aussies, so thinking of a Jardini. I had one a while ago that got over 15" and was in a community tank with balas, rainbow fish, silver dollars, and was never aggressive, so hoping if I get a small one who grows up with them, then he will be fine (plus there is lots of room), and if he is agro then he will be banished to the 200g

Thats awesome! as you can tell I LOVE DRIFTWOOD haha. I think it completes a tank to look like a natural environment.
 
Keep this thread going!
 
finally a member of this club although i thought it would take longer...im still living in an apt now but will hopefully be buying my own house later this year...ive been dreaming on craigslist lately and all of a sudden something pops up that i cant resist...it was labeled as a 180 gallon but it is 72x24x29 which i think is called a 210 but it comes out to 216.9 gallons..it has built in overflows and came with a stand that will need to be repainted...tank is only 3 years old so at $200 i think it was a pretty good deal... im keeping in a friends guest house until i can set it up in my own...i plan on doing all florida natives! heres a pic after we got it moved in

Here's our 300 Gallon Deep Dimension tank, stand, & canopy. The color is Red Oak.

It is home to our 10+ year old Fly River Turtle, 10 Congo Tetras, and 5 Goyder River Rainbows.

What part of Florida? I'm in Orlando and have been searching forever. I/m about to bite the bullet and buy the Perfecto 300g dd.

gainesville area...i was shocked myself! i usually look in the orlando section because of the good deals in that section...last year i got a mint condition 75gallon with glass top, lights and a stand for $120 in winter park
