Thanks Alexa...I think the flavirostris is the last on my wanted list once this tank is up and running!

Really looking forward to watching this one develop!
So what's the expected time line for the change over? Do I sense a build thread coming along?

Should be nice. What are the dimensions on the tank, what water flow are you planning, and what lighting? Will it be bare bottom and why not a thin layer of sand?
And now many more butterflies will you add?

Is that a 8'x2'x2' 240? Nice looking tank, looks like a big single overflow?

You have a great collection of fish there....A "Butterfly Tank" is definitely on the list of tanks I would love someday.

Thanks. Tank is in, but there was a problem with the sump, so it needs to be remade. Slight delay, not a big deal...

Looks great. If anything the stand matches the flooring almost too well.

I have the same stand, but stain is not as dark. I have two issues to address. Light coming from fuge because of the doors fitting inside their hole instead of outside and being larger than hole. And not enough 2x4s. Not one ran from front to back :/ aside from that LeeMar did an amazing job!!
