Hi all.
Had an addition to the house recently. I received a new CADE setup from Aquascape Design, here in Aus...
Specs are:
900x500x500mm for 225L (36x20x20", 59 gal.)
10mm (3/8") Opticlear glass, rimless and braceless.
Stand is aluminium and glass, that arrived as a flat pack.
CO2 will of course be pressurised by way of CO2 Pro 1.5kg cylinder, Aquascape Design Reg and solenoid. Filtration will be by AquaOne Advance 1250 (who needs Eheim??).
Lighting will also be CADE, 6x39wT5, hanging from CADE lightstands.
Took some pics of random stages of unpacking and "I just gotta see what it looks like" trial setting up....
A pile of boxes and cartons.
I insisted on being able to at least remove part of the crate prior to signing off on the delivery. Turns out the dude was all good with that and even leant a hand.
Gas bottle, glassware, reg/solenoid, etc...
My first additions! Wait for it...
CATFISH!! And that will be the last time they are anywhere NEAR this tank!!
...and after a bit of hammering and sweating, one stand
One more piece to add...at 3ft by almost-2 by almost-2, it's actually a decent size tank...
Some random pics
And the obligatory test fit of the glassware.
So they were all taken a couple weeks ago. I still need to order filter and substrate (combo of EcoComplete and pool sand, probably) and also waiting on the light.
I have since been playing around with DW and rocks and have a few ideas already. I took some update pics today

The thoughts I have for plants are Narrow and Philipine Fern, Bolbitis, Blyxa, Eriocaulon sp., Glosso and Flame Moss... Fauna is looking to be H. Rasboras, Rummynose, Oto's and a couple of Farlowella's.

That DW arrangement is only a mock-up at this stage...although I am pretty confident that's how it will look eventually. But, as for the cut off, you may notice there is a branch sitting, loosely, atop the cut branch....once I decide where this is going, I will most likely cut the cut-off branch right back to the base and screw the other piece in place with a stainless screw. That will eventually be covered with substrate, so won't be visible...
