Hey, looks good!
The only things that concern me is that the bogwood will float (&/or release lots of colour into the water that some people don't like)& also what is the pale rocky substance on the right in the last photo which the caves are embedded into? It it aquarium safe?

Re: new tank setup nearly done!
Thanks,
I do not think that the wood will float-it is very heavy. Never had a problem before-but if i get an issue i will address it then.
The wood was soaked for a long time before putting in.
The curved section is made by JUWEL and designed for aquariums-so should be pretty good.
The bakground was the only one i liked- all the rest looked weird... but somewill like it some wont. I think it will look different when the water is in and it has ' weathered ' a bit.
thanks for the comments- keep em comin

Looks good, what filteration have you got? Also I'm guessing the plants are fake?
What are looking to stock it with?

Re: new tank setup nearly done!
there are two large external pumps in the cupboard under neath
The plants are fake, i have tried real ones before but my plecs kinda destroyed or made them look untidy. Now adays i prefer fake ones but io may try again later.
There will be mostly plecs with a few odessa and dension barbs thrown in.
3x zebras
1x Queen Arabesque
1x Flash
2x Peppermint plecs
1x grey lepran*****
2x common
a few more whose names escape me- hopefully when they have moved over successfully i will be able to get a pic for identification.
1x L128
1x L200
oh yeah and a blue panaque that ive just spotted! i love this tank keep finding new fish!

Ok cool sounds good, but I can't say if it'll work or not, as I know nothing about pleco's.
How many litres is the tank?
