2010.04.11 Added water to tank today!
Tank was already cycled (water in the substrate when I didn't fill it up yet) plus I used old water from my 50G, just did a 20% water change on it and used it in this tank, the filter had been working on the 50G too for 5 weeks - since I started the emersed planting, so the water is all goood.... I also have excel dosing everyday for CO2, hope it is sufficient.

Thanks guys and girls!
Initially when I added water, the 3rd day there was blue green algae/cyanobacteria for a couple of days but I removed them manually, and since then it has not been back yet and let's hope it stays that way!
