Looks good, bro.
 
Well lets see if you guys can solve a conundrum for me?
Tank was set up with 2AC110 and 2C360 it's been Less than one week and my second water test read(Old media and Stability added)
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 10ppm

Is it REALLY already cycled?!?

Well seeing as it's at least cycled with small bioload I've added a few dithers into the tank before I add the big guns.(Pics up later) I've got 2 Congo Tetra 2 Jewel Cichlids and 6 Alestes(brycinus) on the way
 
Like said before if you want cheap lighting id rock like 8-16 of the 6500k 200w daylight cfl bulbs. just buy the dual sockets and wire them in and securethem to te bottom of the canopy and youre good to go.

Already got 4 15W and 2 80(or 120 IDK)W for $50
 
Its coming along nicely! Keep us posted :thumbsup:

P.S. If you used old media and Stability you should be good to go. Thats what I've been doing for a long time setting up new tanks and never have had an issue. So long as you stock gradually you should be good to go :cheers:

Yeah I figured as much I'm slowly adding some dithers(Congos & Jewels) before I add the big guns here's some pics (I still need to get more plants)
(Bonus is my Odoe now at 4" its really poor quality though)

Sweet! Where did you get your Odoe? I was supposed to be getting 5 in Mark's last shipment from Germany but the order fell through. I still want to pick one up in the near future.
