Pondering substrate at the moment 
I'm thinking either re-cycled Aquasoil Amazonia I have in a bucket in the garage, or maybe splash out on some Colombo... Pay day tomorrow 
Edit: Oh, and I think I need some new tubes. The current tubes are looking a bit tired, and one is flickering a little for the first 5 mins after being switched on

It sounds like you have a good plan. When will you have water in the tank?
Hey Steve is that your own drool protection?

Definitely! Locked in a glass cage
Nah, you can see condensation on some of the boxes. I just pulled them out of a crate in the garage before taking that photo.

It's a Haliea 2x24wHO unit. It came with the tank when I bought it last year off of another forum member.

I vote for reusing the substrate. Waste not want not.
Then spend the money on tubes

Well, this isn't going anywhere fast at the moment. But, things have changed a little. I'm now planning on using an 80x45x45 tank and hopefully (if I can repair it) a 150w metal halide. Just working out the logistics, and getting hold of the tank/stand from Dan in a few weeks. Contemplating re-arranging my bedroom to suit an extra tank/cabinet. should be fun!
