tank looks great and looks huge. Cant wait to see if filled and planted,lots of work went into this cant wait.Beautiful home and tank. Pisses me off.
I just set them to around 7200k for now, at midday. Will see how it goes.My wife says she likes the lights.
Have you found a good schedule?
Did you use the GHL mounting kit?
Yes, I was going to go with the soft white background originally but then got worried I was going to see distracting shadows from those support bars for the lights, plus other stuff I plan on running up the back of the tank. So settled on black for now. It's just a vinyl background so I could peel it off and try white next time if I want. Guess we'll see how it goes!I'm not an huge fan of the black background, but nice setup, curious about these lights.
LOL!!! Thanks... I think.Beautiful home and tank. Pisses me off.
ha, yeah... it's big. <that's what she said>tank looks great and looks huge. Cant wait to see if filled and planted,lots of work went into this cant wait.
Thanks! I've got a general idea for the scape, but livestock i've put on the back burner for now.Extremely classy build, any more thoughts on the scape and livestock?
(I suspect More Soil will be on the list - unless you’re planting very little area ... which doesn’t correspond with the lighting )
Filipe Oliveira’s advice - take your time collecting hardscape etc, then scape the tank, and wait again for next budget instalments for plants ... and then livestock
I was thinking of crushing the lava rock. Would that work? I don't know of any stone more porous looking than lava, outside of a filter media.Look for a porous stone similar in size to ADA Power Sand L for better flow/oxygenation/biological activity in that base
(I suppose ADG won’t have this any longer but they may have something comparable)

I had to look up "pouzolan" and then i had to translate from french to english. lolI use thights filled with pouzzolan to create slope under the soil; cheap and very effective.
