they worked hard and have only just left
i think they could have done a better job of the background but i have a little trick to hide the lines
im not sure if i want to cover the weirs with the back ground or not yet but i think i will just to finish it off and make it look a bit more natural

why did construction the overflow on side....? it should have overflow 18" to 12" on the back. I think the water flow will not flow correctly? your aro might have issues. You run the tank with cheap fish first prior to introducting your expensive fung shui fish...
this is my 2 cent comment.

the over flows are on the side for a few reasons
1 better flow
2 to make the base stronger to allow a 6x2x2 sump
if you look at the over flow boxes you will see 2 return pipes in each over flow box 1 pushing water to the front of the tank and 1 to the back
i will be turning over 20,000 lph so each over flow box has 2 x 40mm drain pipes
i think this will work well but we will see
as for putting the aro in i will be using 50l of mature media from my set up now another 4,000 bio balls and some jap matt
i will also be using seachem stabilaty for the 1st week which will speed up the cycle

this will give you a idea of the look I'm going for
the tank frame and sump doors will be sprayed in a high gloss red
lol that's going to look pretty cool.

Looking really sharp
What are the 2 holes in the frame on the left side for?

The finishing touches really do make that setup stand out- from the trim, surrounds and the the brickwork, Call me a sceptic but what do you if the tank leaks at the back?
