My first 300g setup (A pictorial process)

[Symbiosis]

Hey guys,

After long obsession about it. I have finally got my 300g setup up and going. It started with a big move from my brother's house to my house. I will include pictures as we go.

You will have to use a hosting site like photobucket to post pictures. They are performing a server upgrade so the uploads have been disabled.

Next I had to clean the tank, and also check that it was not leaking seeing that it hadn't been filled for close to 2 years. I used vinegar to clean the tank.
