Casper shows an interest;
NOTE that there's a good distance between the radiator on the wall and the tank, with the filter, heater and pump all tucked away in the back.
(Those wires will soon disappear from view, once I'm certain that everything is running as it should).
A view from the left-hand side.
NOTE that for all the speed of this process, this wasn't a Planted, nor a 'Fish-in Cycle', though I've taken the best bits of the wonderful Planted Cycle, with a host of fast-growing plants, (which are already showing signs of growth). I also added a whole load of beneficial bacteria from my oldest established tank AND some Microbe-Lift Special Blend and Nite-Out II.
The plants received a couple of squirts of the Tropica Premium Nutrition, simply because those small Gourami hadn't made much of a contribution of ammonia just yet.
Tank dimensions, by the way, are 33cm x 33cm x33cm, measuring internal volume.
Advertised capacity was 40 litres, but I managed to put 6 x 8 litre buckets of water in, making treatable water at 48 litres.
