Thanks everyone.

Yep, the tanks are alot of work to keep, but well worth it in my mind. Usually though it takes me a few months before I even add the fish in the larger tanks, I'm a perfectionist and will have a tank full of plants for a while before I add even the basic fish

Camera was taken into repair shop today, so pics should be up by the weekend

In spite of a case of severe envy, I can't wait to see all your tanks, especially the discus tank!!
