Well the "goodies" have arrived! I have much work to be done as the stand has a closed off back. So now I have to get an opening for the filter hoses, then I have to figure out how the heck to put that filter together. Dang it's big! (Rena XP3). Next step will be to clean it out a little better now that I have the python. I will also perform a more effective leak test now that I can easily fill it up. I'd like the Tanganyikan tank but the fish are fairly expensive so I may not be able to pull that off. So I will have to look into that a bit more before I commit. I may look into Rainbows, but I am not sure of their costs. It is just another colorful option I am considering. Something will work out nicely
