Hello every1, after giving my tank the final test it past with flying colours, so did a massive water change to get the nitrate down to 10ppm (gonna do another pwc 2mar to get it lower) and went out an got some fish, they didn't have the glo fish I wanted so I changed them with black phantom tetras, so here's what I have in my tank,
5 black phantom tetras
7 harlequin rasboras
1 dwarf gourami
15 red cherry shrimp
I'm gonna go get some corydoras next week as they didn't have any today. Here's the pics...

Cool! :)

How big is the tank???
 
Awesome job! Great to see your new fish :). I told you it'd be worth it in the end...and now you've built your fish a fantastic and safe home you should be proud of.

For anyone who's about to freak out about the # of fish added...Chris cycled at 4ppm and has one massive beast of a bio-filter.

Enjoy my friend :)

Ive recently switched all my tanks to LED they are awesome lights that run cheaper on electricity then fluorescent fixtures and they last a lot longer, I'm very satisfied!
 
Thanks every1, the fish are doing great in there new home and I'm having a great time watching them lol.
 
Got some new additions to the tank today to make up for the loss of my gourami, I'm hopefully gonna find a Healthy DG at a different store this Saturday aswell.

This was the best pic I could get at the moment.
