That is forking awesome 'dam! Are there any details or specs from the site you got the picture from by any chance? I'd love to get one started in my small tank (with the same fish as that one, or may be neon tetras) but I just want to know how much maintenance is involved. I've already got a bit on my plate at the moment.
This reminds me, I've gotta make an update on my tank. I'll give it a water change and hopefully find some time to write something up.
Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille
Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

I priced up the lighting and C02 kit to do this on my fresh water tank, going to cost about $600 ish. I already have the Aquasoil stuff you need.
Fish tank is going to sleep
I got a sea Urchin too! maaaad.
This dude is doing awesome now the stems are fluro green, can't really get a pic of it but it does look awesome.
heaps of space left for more coral but taking it easy now to get corals that are a bit rarer.

Wow Adam! INCREDIBLE!
I like the first one as it has that classic Takashi Amano look to it but I'm leaning towards the 2nd as my fav, based on the vegetation flowing in the current, and the Harlequin Raspboras; can't go past these fish when making a Nano tank imo.
Great job =)
I'd like to setup a Nano planted tank but I'd want it to be self sufficient without the use of Co2.

Has anybody had much experience in the way of Geophagus sp.? Every time I go into my favourite Aquarium store, I marvel at the Green Horse-faced Eartheaters. Such a beautiful cichlid. Mouth brooder too

Thought I'd throw this one up. 1500 long Aquanova tank, with a turtle dock I put in myself. Simple to do, just need to do it when the tank is empty. Marine carpet and marine grade silicone thats ok for aquariums and you're done. Had to buy a canister filter though, as the pump that normally sits in the top of the tank isnt good enough to run with the water level that low. Plus turtles are dirty compared to fish.
They've already knocked over the rock in the centre, need to ballast it up and put it upright again.
Its still a little hazy in there at the moment, as I did a massive clean on it yesterday. The filter has picked up a lot of the micro particles from some of the new filter mediums and has spat them through the tank. Washing them before you put them in never seems to get rid of all of it. A lot better than it was, turtles had only been in there half an hour or so in this shot.
MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Yea, it's something I have been meaning to get for a while, but with everything going on at the moment it's a little bit down the priority list. Probably pick one up while I'm in Adelaide for a few weeks when I get some replacement filter mediums.

Pm me your frequency of visiting Adelaide; we'll tee up a meet/cruise. I'm always keen.
