6 x 3 x 2.5 1500 litre sump inclusive

My 1st real attempt at aquascaping without someone else getting involved. Had to use a stepladder because the top of the tank is 6 feet tall. Ceilings are 8 feet. I got all bruised in my armpits from the braces because my arms were literally in as far as they could go. I used grabbers to start the lowest rocks on bare bottom then built up from there using fibreglass rods, 2 part epoxy putty and a whole lot of swearing, sweating and pain (my spine is a mess after 5 operations for a fracture 35 years ago). Lighting is lousy. I've finally paid for the Maxspect razors (2 x 75 cm units will cover it all) and they will be here in 7 days. Yes!! Finally!! Took me 6 months to save up.

It's only about 7 months old and quite a way to go. Took 6 weeks to cycle then I lightly stocked every 2 weeks. Still have a pair of Mollies from the 4th week. Don't know what to do with them as they have babies every month. Clowns breeding every 14 days. Banggai pair also breeding. Coralline finally dotting everywhere. Lights are crap (came with the package) but new ones one week away - which isn't soon enough. Took ages to save for. Might re-scape and move the heads soon after seeing the new aqua scape section last week.
