Well, after much hunting on Craigs list, shopping on line, asking for recomendations here from other members, and a few fiascos with sellers, I've FINALLY got a brand new 100 gallon, 5 foot glass tank in my front room. Painted the back pane black, got it moved into position, and am expecting the filters and substrate to arrive today. The lights arrived a couple of days ago, and I've not yet ordered a Co2 system or figured out where I wil be able to get the tank refilled, but no rush on that I don't think. Still need to get out and find some nice wood at the river too, and then decide on how I want to arrange the scape before ordering plants, but anyhow, here are the first pics... My starting point!
