    Thanks, can't wait for the cycle to finish and the chance to put some goodies in...

    Indeed hanging out for the tank to finish its cycle.

    We have a rough idea of what we want, but i shan't tell you, It'll be a surprise :p

    Stay tuned for an update with pics...
    PS according to the German DHL tracker my power heads are in transit to destination country. Here is hoping that they get here before the cycle is finished.

    cheers, here is hoping that it works as intended... WE still have to add a skimmer but that will be one about 6-8 mths down the track...

    nice looking setup hender, gotta be happy with the way its turned out so far!
    can i ask how much the LEDs set you back? would love to get some for my tank, but pretty sure i'll be forced to wait till they're alot cheaper :-/
    and did you have to import the evo or was your LFS able to order them in? i havent noticed any up this way yet

    Cheers, we are very impressed with it

    Thanks mate, I can't wait till we get something in it.

    It is indeed. Patience is wearing thin... I so want to add something...

    Yes, lesson learned. If you take one thing from this build thread; Its do it right once.

    Yes we are very happy. Yes, check your PM regarding the lights. We got from a LFS who puts the together and sells them with a little mark up. Its not too bad considering the work into them.

    I think our LFS could order them in, but i did it my self. Prices were fantastic but its the shipping that kills it... Something like 40 euro for 230 euro worth of goods. However we are stilling waiting for them to ship. Only negative is I need to find a power plug converter which isn't too bad.
