Hi.
I'm slowly moving stuff from old tank to new one. After nearly 2 months of diy bonanza, I managed finally paint the cabinet and put all together all bits and pieces and make new T5 light. Anyway I'm not 100% happy with the light so that needs to be change in the future. Ok, some of the details about the tank
dimensions: 70x40x38h
light: diy hood, 3 x 24W T5 (Philips 880, osram 840, sylvania grolux)
fintration: EX600
CO2: JBL system + 600g welding CO2 DIY difusser made from inline water filter plus heater
substrate: sand foreground + peat moss with ordinary B&Q slow release fertiliser and akadama on the top
plants (will be): Microsorum, Glosstigma elatonides, Sagittaria subulata; Bacopa caroliniana, Rotala macandra, Bacopa monnieri; Background: Heteranthera zosterifolia, Mayaca fluviatilis, Ludwigia repens 'Rubin', Cardamine lyrata. Some crypts, Java moss, Rotala wallichii.
fish&inv (will be): 6 Red tetras, two false siamensis, 4 corydoras, 4 red cherry shrimps.
At the moment I can show only the first attempt to hardscape, soon more pictures.
