Hi guys, only been a member for a few weeks and have been like a sponge - soaked up lots of valuable knowledge ready for the delivery of my new tank so here it is..

minus all the good stuff!

after my first go at 'aquascaping'

and finally with background. Adds nice depth i think.
As you can see i'm a few days into a fishless cycle and DESPERATE for those levels to do their stuff. I've also got some nice Mopani wood on soak so can't wait to add that in as well. It'll be great when the plants have grown out a bit and i'm sure i'll be just like everyone else on here very soon-moving things around and re-scaping every 5 mins!!
Anyway, just thought i'd share it with you all and say thanks for being here and airing your advice - its invaluable for a newbie like me to finally be able to have the sort of aquarium i'd only dreamed of
