  1. Covering the soil with straw is great for the winter, you can also add some newspaper under if for extra weed protection. If you cover it with poly you could "sour" the soil as it won't be able to breathe properly, and the addition of straw will mean that you get some goodness back into your soil.
  2. Much as I would love to come, I can't as I have promised a friend that I will go to her place for her bbq (I have been meaning to go there since September last year :oops: )
  3. Have you had a look at DavidR's thread on sump for his 1400L in technical? That may give you more info, also check out his fishroom thread link in his signature. I have a sump for my marine tank, Tim from insideoceans made my tank set up for me so you could try giving him a pm. I have my main tank drilled at the bottom which I think makes it look cleaner.
