African Setup Step by Step

We should have a step by step build page, a place to put your pictures for all to see, in various stages of build and design.
Ok so i have put in two polystyrene Vivarium backgrounds, Leaving enough clear space at back for heater and powerhead to stir it up a bit.
I couldn't find Eggcrate so i used the plastic covers for drains to stop leaves getting in, worked really well i think.
Placed rocks onto plastic and back filled with sharp sand, i did rinse heavily but as you can see still dirty, left to settle for a week and started filters up, three days later it was nice and clear.

Normally someone would start a thread for their tank only. A thread where they can post pictures and can ask questions specific to their tank as they go through their build
 
I still think it would be nice for people to put pictures on here, and then we can see how other people have done there tanks, gaining tips etc.
 
Here's mine before..
