Ok lol lets do it lol
Not only that I need to make sure everything iv bought works and is leak free so yea makes sense to switch it all on tomorrow.
Got this horrible feelin my tank is gona guzzle up 5kg of co2 in a matter of weeks lol 22 bubbles per second lol

 

[greenmumma141]

Well I have my Fire Extinguisher, it arrived today. Final component to the build.
Shall be putting it all together tomorrow. Now its just a waiting game for the LEDs.
Im tempted to turn it all on tomorrow XD
No no I shall wait for the lights and new plants lol

 
hehehe I've been wondering what FE meant
  
"Super High Tech" ooo00ooo, ahhhh, that's exciting! Can't wait to see it all, especially steveo's light unit

It wont hurt to turn it all on tomorrow. This way you can get an ideal how much Co2 you need to dose to get the level up to where you want it, better to do this whilst you are still running lower light IMO. 
 
Do It 

What PSI was your 5kg FE reading when you first put your reg on?

No thats not what i meant mate. What is the pressure of the FE suppose to be when full?

 

[Livewire88]

O sorry, both my FE's read at just over 50 Bar, this pressure does not drop till the FE is close to empty.

 

[SLIM]

Oh ok sweet that makes sense. Thanks

OK so update and photo time. Its been an eventful day.
My 5KG co2 Fire Extinguisher turned up yesterday so i could finally finish the build

Its all set up now and ready to go. I was going to turn it all on today but i ended up taking my daughter to the farm instead

So switch on will be tomorrow.
 
I also ripped out all my Vallis in preparation for my 95 stem plants i have ordered, so the back of the tank is looking a little bare lol
 
Here are some pics of how i got on

 

 
I then decided to come up with a method to keep it firmly in place as i dont want it falling over. I do have a little girl afterall

Soooo came up with this...
 

 
CHAINED BABY it aint going nowhere!
 

 
This is the other side of the tank, as you've seen before.
 

 
Obviously this is a lot of unused space. So i went out and bought this (Below) to sit in front of the filter to hide it and to give me more usable storage space

 

 
Top Draw = Food, Test Kits & Syringes

 
Second Draw = EI Chemicals

 
Third Draw = Random Stuff, Bits n Bobs

  Spare Heater, Check Valves, Hose connectors etc etc etc...

 
Oh Yea and lastly here is a couple of shots of my tank without all the Vallis before all my stems go in

 

 
Well thats it for now, shall update again when the stems arrive and again when the LEDs arrive.
Il then try to post a pic weekly so you can see the growth progress with the addition of co2 and extra lighting

Cleaver idea I like it and the tanks looking great!

 

[greenmumma141]

95 stem plants.....  
 
Crazy what a difference it makes just taking out the vallis! 
 
I went for a fluval 306 . Perfect timing as my birthday is coming up  the cabinet in my stand is not actually tall enough, so I'm making some modifications to an old dresser to turn it into a *secret fish stuff cubby*. Came up with the name all on my own I might even hang some hooks in there and get organized haha...
 
Pics look great, can't wait to see the tank with the lights and 95 stem plants!!!! 
 
...so, thats about a gabillion watts right?!? 

 awesome!
