    Thanks mate. Will be posting regular updates! with pics!

    Thanks, its in a good spot I reckon. Its in a paradise/extension room of the house. its getting used less and less so eventually I will take over it with tanks! The only downside is that it gets quite hot. Which is why I need to get pump to get my chiller going.

    Its some sort of Linkia species I think. Well thats what a few people said when I put it up to be I.D.

    I will take a few more pictures of it tonight when I get home and put them up.

    As well as a vid of my new MP10 smashing the flow :).

    Hey all,

    I am wondering how I can streamline my powercords at the back of my tank? At the moment they look VERY NASTY, they are all tangled etc, but I dont actually know how to organise them properly so I can have space for my chiller at the back.

    Biocube, I know yours is amazing, how did you do it?
