I have started a new client's project, this time a 450 Gallon starfire glass aquarium, 240 L x 90H x 75D (cm), this tank will hold 1000 Green Neons, shrimp.
Plants are A coffeefolia on braches/wood, Crypt Green gecko in the rear center, Blyxa and hair grass belem in the front.
Some swords near the wood and some C spiralis in the rear.
Light is about 1.9W/gal max and mostly T12 lights.
More on that later.
CO2 done by partial pressure meter, so no pH/KH measurements or pH controllers.
6 Full top of the line Ehiem filters are used, a remote control starts and completes a 50% water change with RO water.
We used Loc Line to do anything we want with flow and will also have a Eco Tech 2000 gph wave machine in the tank.
Wood is all collected by me personally and added to the tank. Manazanita is a common brush/tree here in California. This is the some of the same pieces I got from this location I plan on sending you folks here in a couple of weeks or so..
the filters and plumbing
This is about the largest sized tank I'd want to own personally.
Not a bad office tank huh?
