I would throw a few (5-6) cheap fish in there to cycle. Also if your lfs has any dirty filter media they can give you for your filters get that, you will be well on your way!!!!

Throw in about 4-5 feeder goldies, then danios, barbs whatever.
If you can get some filter media from another up and going filter, stick it in one of your canister's you would of shortened the process by about 5 days.

Its only been roughly 5 hours since he said that. he's probably at work, picnic, movies you know. But my life revolves around my fish.

I like it. Yeah, I was a little busy today. But busy in a good way. Went to the lfs, bought some plants.
Got no idea what they are anymore, planted them then went "what where these called again?"
Hope someone can ID them for me.
Got some photo's. Just uploading them now.
Expect a post in about 20 min.

Ok, here are the photo's for the last couple of days work.
No photo's of the gravel being washed. Not real exciting.
Here's the first couple of buckets worth of gravel going into the tank.
This is the first rock going in. Heavy thing that it was.
Few more rocks as they go in.
Another few.
Should mention that the design for these rocks was all my wifes. I just put them where she wanted them. Gota hand it to her, she does have an eye for this sought of thing.
These are some photo's with the water in, rocks in, and the plants We bought today.
Left side.
Left middle.
Right middle.
Right.
Here's a whole tank shot. This is it as it currently sits.
So thats it for another episode.
If anyone could ID those plants for us that would be great.
If you need closer pictures to ID them, I can organise that.
