Just got mine put together, not ready for a pic quite yet, what for the cloudyness..

I'll show you mine if you show me your Fluval Spec. :]

I couldn't miss ordering a Spec as it was only £36.99 and it arrived today. It's so dinky! I've wanted RCS for a long time and this is the perfect little tank for having a few in. I've set it on my bedside table but I'm not going to set it up until tomorrow. I have nothing to put in it because I wasn't sure of it's size, but I have ordered a bunch of low-light plants that can go into my 20 gallon tank if there's too many.

Can't wait to set it up!

Esworp - I'm starting with small stuff too. I put three baby Crypts I'd grown in my goldfish tank and put them in my Spec. I've got a veryyy long wait ahead of me. I might put a couple of Java fern in the back but I'm undecided.

I've also put a diy CO2 system on it using a wooden airstone whilst I'm waiting for my glass on and bubble counter, but I've got a feeling it's overkill. There's bubbles everywhere!

Yeah, it was quite interesting getting it trimmed that way. I always do love scapes leading to one corner and the shape of this tank lends well to it. Fish should be here today -- will post pics. Also, this tank has been set up since August (my bday present) but I just rescaped it to look like this a week or two ago. Since I added the Fluval Ebi light on Saturday, some of my red plants are turning, well, red :)

I got rid of the neons I had in it last night (brought them to LFS) to make room for the endlers that Somewhatshocked gave to me for just the price of shipping!
