update.
I have all the media now, Japanese blue matting, 50kg of 'lytag', Kaldness ( thanx Alan) filter wool. just gotta buy the pump and some egg crate next week.
tonight i finished removing the original baffles in the filter (the PVC flexed too much under the pressure and broke the sealant) now have 6mm plate glass baffles installed, gotta wait for the sealant to cure
we're away for a weekend before the baby gets here so it'll give the sealant time to cure fully. will post some pics sunday/monday.
Danios doing fine, also added a 10" banded Leporinus (couldn't resist, always liked this sp.)
when i get back i have the filter to set up and then get the U.V. and pump installed.
