I'm now planning a custom 150 litre tank with base dimensions of 40x90cm with a Fluval u4 filter.
I've resisted posting for ages to try and avoid the ever changing mind of Matt!!

I seem to be quite set on this now (it's lasted as a plan for a good number of weeks)
I want it to look something like this

6 galaxy rasbora
6 alexrods rasbora
6 rummy nose terra
6 harlequin rasbora (mix of normal and purple)
6 sparkling gourami
6 ram (2 of each; normal,golden,blue)
2 or 4 checkerboard cichlid
Possibly a female betta if it will be compatible... they keep catching my eye

I'm going to start buying the plants I want for it and eventually the wood and substrate to replace what's in my existing tank so that the move will be easier as I can take the maximum amount of beneficial bacteria over with them (I don't want to be running two tanks at once if I can avoid it). Filter media from the old filter will be used in the new also to aid this, and stocking this up would be done gradually.
Any thoughts? Don't forget I'm in the small number of lots of species camp
