Hi all,

I'm after a new setup and am going to buy everything new. I've been involved in fishkeeping for years and have evolved to where i am now, mainly on a budget. So i'm treating myself to a new setup, without too much consideration to money.
I need the following:
Tank:
I'm after a new high tech planted setup. Maximum width is 120cm but it cant be a deep tank. My current tank depth is 41cm so would like to keep it somewhere around this. Tank has to have a lid. I quite like the Fluval Shaker cabinet but really dont like the idea of a drilled tank. Plus i'm not sure exactly how well my filter choice would fit on the proprietory hose connectors. Additionally, it seems like some of the lighting options i've been looking at can't operate inside the tank and require to have access to the open air. I'q quite like to have a blackout lid to keep light spill to a minimum.
Filter:
I've pretty much set on an Oase Biomaster Thermal 850 but would love to hear any counters to this.
Lighting:
I really liked the customisable nature of the Chihiros WRGB II. But know theres other lighting out there which may be similar. Fluval plant 3.0 also seemed decent, and cheaper but perhaps lacks some of the capabilities of the Chihiros.
So with all that said, what would you guys recommend? Be really interested to hear your thoughts
