Tank now all done and up and running....boy what a job *L*
Bill has arrived but tank still too cold to add the O's back in, needs to rise another 10C (adding slightly cooled boiled water to speed this up)
Now the canister is back on it should clear up fairly quickly.
I've put 2 large anubias in there, will be interesting to see if the O's give em hell or leave them alone!

So they are all in, and Eric is being a bit of a sod. Hopefully he'll settle.

I've had major tank drama tonight. A power brownout has either killed or damages many of my mutiples tanks equipment. As a result tomorrow i will be starting a major sellout of my tanks.
I will be keeping my 5ft, 3ft and 2.5ft. All other 16 tanks will be sold off
Sad but i cannot replace that much equipment in one go :(:(

Thanx guys
The Oscars have now gone :(
I managed to get the part i needed for my ehiem and its now running on the 5ft, along with 2 internals. Its now home to my maingano colony.
4ft - empty at this stage, i need to give it a good clean and decide how to scape it. Angels will probably go in here (the pair spawned in the 3ft so am waiting to see if they can raise them)
3.5ft - empty at present, will get a good clean then be setup with 4 air driven filters. The Peppermint BN colony will move into here
3ft - Currently planted and has the angels in it. It is on hold until i see wether the angels will raise their fry or not
2.5ft - Currently still planted but will be pulling plants and replanting as its gone feral *L*
Most other tanks will be sold off

Aquascaped my 2x18x20 tank today. It will become home to breeding cherry shrimp, and a couple of juvie Pep BN.
Rocks - some covered with java moss
Rocks - plain
Wood - covered in java moss
Wood - plain
Java fern and Val added in also
Once it grows in a bit should look quite good. Will also be on the lookout for some branchy bits of wood to use to hide hardware.
Pics to come once settled and warmed up enough for shrimp and peps to move in
