Plants.
I am not sure what type of fish yet. I want to make the tank look really nice before I decide on any fish.
Actually I am stuck on the substrate of the tank right now. I want to know of a cheap place to get a dark looking gravel. I would require 2 possibly 3 bags of gravel from the LFS for $27.99 each.

I was just looking at the pictures you posted in this thread. I'd probably opt to stock it with more cases of coors light like the one you have under your tank. lol.

There are a few Big Al's stores all over, the closest one to us is whitby. They have a lot of fish stoc in there, but there fresh water fish do not always look as good as their salt water stalk, especially the tetra. At least mine didnt at first, they has torn fins and what not, and now are all healed.
Every week they have fish specials on that change every friday at 5pm.
You can go to www.bigalscanada.com and clic on fish specials to find out what they have on sale.
Their prices are a bit lower than most local stores around here that I have seen, however, if you are wanting to get anything other than livestock, you are better off buying from www.mops.ca as they have much lower prices and if you do not own a credit card, they accept PayPal.

Looks great!
What do you plan to stock it with?
(BTW...one of the first comments on using bleach to clean a tank, I wouldn't recommend that, anything like that will soak into the silicone and get released into the water once filled and poison your fish...I use only sea salt and water to clean my tanks.)
