Well, the cabinet is finished and the tank is now installed with gravel,
plants and water - no fish yet....

Glad to hear it's going so well, and welcome to having a monster tank in
your living room.
One of the best things I did for mine was buying a second big filter unit, I
was running only on one XP3 and bought another and I've never had such clear
water etc.

Now all I need to plan is my big stripdown in the next month or so.
New features are going to be a hole drilled through the wall putting some
piping into a water butt, so my wife can use the waste fish tank water on
the garden.
Undergravel heating.
And have a water supply coming up through the floor with a water
osmosidoofus T'd in to give me the soft water I've always wanted.

I've also looked at getting a PLC (a control device) from work and make the
water change over using some solenoid valves and pumps to be completely
automated, how lazy is that

keep us updated!
