Made this short video showing the current yeast co2 set up in action. Touch wood every thing seems to be doing pretty well at the moment, though I'm still thinking of upgrading to a FE, just need to find a local source to re fill them.

Added a few more fish today, 6 dwarf neon rainbows, another 4 Amano shrimp and a lovely betta.

Didn't managed to get any decent shots of the rainbows, there speedy buggers.

about time for an update!

Tanks coming along nicely. Pretty much fully stocked now.

just finished fitting my co2 fire extinguisher and reg. got fed up of changing the yeast bottle every 3 days!

and here's the tank now.

thought I'd do a quick recap of the progress so far from start to nearly finished. Sorry for poor pictures they where all taken on my phone.

200l tank with black sand substrate covering kitty litter and soaking a bit of mopani wood.
Custom built fish tank stand. filtration is a fluval 205 and 405.

Next added a few stem plants and diy yeast co2.

Then came another bit of mopani wood. Also got the doors and drawers made for the stand.

after that I ordered a few plants.

and set about planting them. Also added the drawer fronts, just handles to go

Then it stayed like this for a couple of months before I added an FE co2 set up,

and this is the tank now. From start to now is around 4 months.

Also added a diy spray bar last week which is working great.

Next I want to add a nice leopard ozelot to the center of the tank and get a couple more angel fish and it will be pretty much done. hopefully then i can sit back and watch it grow.

Looking amazing. Good effort and an inspiration for when I get my own tank.

Well done!

Looking good. When that carpet is covering more it's going to look really serene. I'm in the process of changing my tank over to a discus tank right now. Thanks for the inspiration!

That's two of us you've inspired at least.
