This is less than 24 hours in the tank.. When it gets dark outside and I have had them for a little longer I will see about getting some more pictures.. what you cant see yet is when they settle the mid body form a little yellow sunspot, and I am sure when it really cranks in, the spot will really show. I didnt know Katoto had a green dorsal fin ??

I will get a FTS once the sun sets and does not give a massive glare off the tank. It will be a few days / week before I get to install a window cover again because I have to redo the top shelf system. I might have to redo how the tank sits.. because its settled with a front lean (damn carpet compressing more than expected)

I have to either raise the front of the stand up by 1/4" or I have to lower the back by a 1/4" inch.. not sure which is going to be practically easier.. Right now raising the front would be the easiest... Install a 1/4-1/2" plate in the front.
We are still debating here at the house. Going to see how much the tank settles before making a decision.
FTS pictures coming this evening :)

Bottom of the tank is 23.00" from the back wall
The lean is 1.59 degree's.. I hope this helps.
Now for one of you Engineer type people.
How much do I need to increase length A to make the tank level.
The C = 22 and B is 27
The Length from the wall to the corner BC is 23.75
The Length from the wall to corner BD is 23.00
The stand in the back is 31" tall. The front has sunken down. By how much causing the angle at BD to be 1.59 degree's.
Well enough on that...
Keep smiling :)
