Goodluck with your cycle ;)

Looks nice,how come you went for a taller tank then a longer tank?

I wish i took that advice,im in the early stages of a fishless cycle on my new 110l tank and im already thinking and planning a bigger tank!...As Maccy D's would say "go large"

It has become frustrating,coming home everynight to see green and blue on the test kit :-( ,although im wondering if i put the cycle a week behind on initial setup from dosing too much ammonia. Ive changed the white filter pad about 5 days ago because it was clogged with dirt from the tank...
