I thought it was time to post some pics but as i am useless with a camera my brother in law gave me a hand so i must give a special thank to
Neil Cowling Photography for taking the photos neil can be contacted through his website. Neilcowlingphotography.com.au

The tank is 10 * 2 * 2. I have used a sand base and a fair amount of driftwood. The inhabitants are G.Altifrons , G.Brasiliensis , G.Pindare , Plecos , Gibicepts and a few clown loaches. These photos dont show the newest addition a Arowana so when i see neil next time i will see if i can get some updates.

Comments and feedback are more than welcome

Cool tank mate! Great fish you have... Do your plans get up-rooted much?

They leave the plant be most of the time. I think there is so much space to dig that they are leaving them be.

The filter is a 4foot minireef fed from a double weir on the right. I will add pics of that in a day or so. As far as pics of the Aro i tried to take some pics today but my camera is to slow. By the time it has focused and taken the pic all you see is a blur but i suppose thats the problem wth spending all your money on yur fish and not on a decent camera.

Thanks for the comments guys and im glad you like.

I currently change 200 Litres at a time. I have a 19mm hose i use and a 6500l/h pump for refill. It takes about 40 to 60 min to change the water and do maintanance. Sorry about the slow sump pics i will try and get to it tomorrow night.
