Well everyone, thanks to Mick and his buckets i finaly got round to filling up the orca today, everthing is in and looking good to present so see how it goes;)

I picked up this Orca TL550 for what i think is a bonus, £150. 5month old and a shed load of new test kits, newjet, seio, tunze and various other bits and bobs, more than enough to get set back up again so a few pics of the process..

This is the tank how it stood this morning, been like it for a few week now:D

This is how it looked when i got back from Micks:D the good fella filled up around a 120l of salted and RO for me to get it moving, so added the sand, Mmmmmmm missed that smell..

I bought 10kgs of LR, the big man gave me around 4kgs with some freebies on, and i got a bucket full of branching and LR rubble with the tank, Rubble is in the conpartments in the back, i left one free for Carbon and the like.

And finaly how it looks now :D, the good thing about this one is i should be able to start adding livestock within a week but as this setup has cost me around a month of decorating the house for the better half it should be more than enough ready when the time comes.....soooo...looking out for my zoos again anyone?:D

Enjoy....i know i will be;)
