That is an awesome aquarium, Jesper. We would all love to see additional photos once the fish are settled into it.

Ahh wonderful, Jesper! I'm very much looking forward to come by and see this tank as soon as it's up and running :)

In Denmark Jesper is known as the aquascaper, most of the tanks in the gallery on our little Tanganyika-Group website has been decorated by him - it's some fantastic looking tanks: http://www.tanganyikagruppen.dk/Default.aspx?ID=9

All the best, Thomas

Thank you guys I´m glad you like it :D

The filter is on 468 liters 160x65x45 cm placed under the aquarium. Driven by a 3000 l/h powerhead. This one is
the one who returns the water in the aquarium. And then there is a 2000 l/h powerhead that return the water from the
last champer to the first champer so the runs two times though the sump.

Here is a pics of it !!!
