Nice setup. I like what you did with the tunze controller. I was wondering on how much that big fish with the red stripe shorts costs? I hate to say it, but it may cause your nutrients to skyrocket!
 
now I was thinking of getting the GHLprofilux.... how easy is the set up and are there SMS capabilities and or LAN / Email functions?
 
Wow! Awesome tank.

How do you like the height? I'm contemplating a similar size tank and am on the fence about the height.

Hi if I was honest it's a pig a first, then you soon get used to it, they didn't send the Null plug so I'm waiting for that, also I got the wireless lan but you need their cable to connect to a pc before it can be used??? waiting on that also! The menu is not that good as when you save something it will take you back to the start and if you choose the wrong setting you have to go through to find where you were last. I like to plug and play, find out but pressing the buttons and seeing what it does so I got their after a few hour of playing around.
:D :D
 
I think i'm looking around 800g with the sump?

With the size I did want 3ft front to back and 30" high but couldn't fit it in, so thought go 3ft high 30" front to back! Just need a little set of steps and you can get in, might get the top of your arm wet when cleaning the glass :D but the fish love it with all the space.

Thanks again
Glen
