Setup took the better part of a whole day. After it was all delivered and put in place, I waited until the next day to transfer everything over from the old 125g. I seeded the sump with all the media from the fluval FX5's that were on the old tank. Started at like 6am, and finished around...
Don't think there is such a thing as a cheap new 240g. :whistle:
If you're lucky, you can probably find a nice used setup on Craigslist for a fraction of what you would pay new.
Not sure which one you are referring to, so I included a closer grouped shot. :)
If you mean the deep red one (kinda facing the camera on the right), that's a San Merah.
The brigher orange ones(two on the bottom of the shot), with the slight white spots are Rafflesias.
Updated shot after a recent water change. Tank has been up and running about 8 weeks now. Plant growth is exploding. Have had to hack em back several times now. =)
Oh jeez.
Well, just 24hours later, and I've already found my first passenger to ride the overflow waterfall slide.
Was doing a quick eyeball of things and was rooting around in the sump, when I saw him swimming around the center chamber.
Which means he had to go through the overflow, down...
Here's a link to a short video clip I took shortly after setup. Water is still a little cloudy. Watch in HD for better quality.

Hope the link works! :)
Finally got the 240g up and running yesterday. All plants and fish moved over from my old 125g setup. Took the whole day! I'm loving the new driftwood, each piece is almost 4 feet long!
Tank stats: 8ftx2ftx2ft = 240gallons
Filtration: 60gallon wet/dry sump
CO2 injection
EI dosing with dry...
In the 125 I used the substrate that Aquariumplants.com sells. It seemed to do okay. No real complaints other than that it was kinda light, and tough to keep new plants rooted.
The 240g upgrade that I'm having built, I'm going to use Eco-complete. I already have it all on hand, ready to go.
