The New Clown Setup

Thought I would show you all some pics of the 6 foot tank in its new home and how I've set it up in preparation for moving the Clowns and kubotai over.
First, I put in a River-Tank manifold. Two powerheads, two sponge intakes.
Then in went some sand mixed with Latterite that had been in another tank before, then a lot of the unwashed sand that had been in the 6 footer before I moved it. The plants came from the 6 footer before, plus all the Microsoreum pterops (Windelov) are growing on driftwood and came from the Clown's present 120 gallon home.
I moved over 3 old Corydoras aneus from the 120 and they're having a whale of a time with a 6 foot swimming length, plus they LOVE the sand.
Here's a somewhat still cloudy, but moody nightime shot. The view from the couch.
Here's the cleared tank this morning.
Once the plants reposition themselves and start to get established, it will look even better.
Temperature is holding nicely at 83.5 and there's a gentle right to left current which will get stronger once I hook up the second Rena Filstar to the lower mounted spraybar. If I decide to add flow, I'll just switch to bigger powerheads on the R-T manifold.
Martin.
