Thats really nice, very high end. That pic with all the equipment laid out in the huge room with the fireplace and the killer TV is real envy inducing lol 
But seriously your setup looks great, that rimless look with the floating fixture is quite modern and Im sure it looks fantastic in its surroundings.
Have you checked out those DIY threads with the 1" acrylic rod used as a center support for a couple columns of drilled rock. The ones that are bent look amazing and I think the cube is the best tank to show off something like that.
Very nice work indeed, look forward to seeing more.

Hi precko,
Not a resident I'm afraid. I live in the States but I've got some mates who i've known for many years who live there. Bristol, London, Norwich, and a lovely couple up in Edinburgh.
You must tell us what Meatloaf's home is like when you can, or when it's not too off topic. I can only imagine what he fancies in a home.
Thanks.
Small update.
Almost finished the stand, got a couple more coats of paint to do yet but here are the panels resting in place to give an idea of how it will look, much more like a piece of the furniture now.
Also got some nice frags..
and a crappy picture of them in place under pure actinic T5's
Don't worry I have already ordered a Nikon D60 so I can take some decent pictures to show of their real beauty.

I have now been running this tank for 5 weeks, and using the zeovit method for the past 4 weeks, this is my water params as of today:
Temp - 26°C - 78.8°F
SG - 1.026
PH - 8
KH 7
Ca â€"œ 420 mg
Mg â€"œ 1380 mg
K+ - 400 mg
No3 - 0 (undetectable)
Po4 - 0.01 mg
Very happy with these and about as close to NSW levels as I could hope to get, the frags that I added have already started to show growth tips and the colours are becoming more intense even after just 1 week of being in the system.
Overall very impressed by the zeo products so far, I am also skimming wet with an oversized skimmer and doing 15% weekly water changes so this helps keep my levels in check aswell.
My new camera should be arriving anyday now so I will get some better pics up once that arrives.
Thanks, Paul.

Thanks for the kind words, guys!
Yeah I keep the Mag float in there 24/7, to be fair though I do clean the glass twice a day to keep from any algae taking ahold, my last tank I got a couple of spots of corraline left it for a couple of days next thing the walls were covered, some people like this, I like a nice clean look and it took me hours to scrape it clean, I spend 5 minutes a day now cleaning the glass its no problem, I do it after feeding the tank, and saves a lot of work down the line.
