The Tank Is Here!
Okay, finally time for some pics!

This first one is just a pic of my halide fitting alongside the fluoro T5 fittings. As you can see, one is filled with broken globes. Not only are the tubes broken, but the reflector is bent and only 3/8 tubes light up. It was delivered like that by Fastways. I'm working with Gary from Guppys on this one. He's assured me he's sending me a replacement fitting. The 'other' Fluoro fitting and the halide fitting work perfectly :)

This next one is simply a close up on the reflector of the halide, Jay asked for one a while back so I figured I may aswell post it up for everyone else to see.

Here's my beautiful finace in front of the tank whilst it's still at Le Aquatic, pre-delivery. I had her stand next to it for scale :P

Part of my Fishstreet order. There's multiples of items but I just took this to give people an idea of some of the equipment I'm using.

Here's my setup inside the house and positioned where I want it. I'm really happy with the quality of both the tank and the furniture. If you look carefully you can see the bulkhead holes in the back of the tank.

A shot of the sump with my JNS skimmer and reactors in their proper compartments

I hope you liked the pics! Let me know what you think. More will be following once the background is on and I start to plumb up the tank.
Thanks for looking :)
