Hi All
After reading many threads, (spent hours reading the featured journals) George Farmer signatures scapes have got me itching to set up an bran new tank. I have decided it is time to scape all my other tanks large and small and concentrate on ONE new shallow planted tank.
Here is my shopping list, The observant one will notice that it is mainly JBL and TMC stuff this is mainly because I can get my staff discount at the shop i work at. Unfortunately TMC will not ship the glass signature tanks up to us in Scotland so i have decided to go with our own supplier Seashell to get my tank.
I would be very grateful if people could have a quick scan and see if theres anything that they would change and/or add? Basically looking to set up a minimalist looking system that can handle any plants or designs (for shallow aquarium of course) I can think of.
Equipment
Cabinet: TMC Signature stand 90cm (no tank, as will not deliver to Scotland )
Tank: Seashell custom built optiwhite rimless tank 90cm (L) x 45cm (w) x 22.5cm (h)
Matting: JBL Aquapad 100cm x 50cm
Lights: TMC Grow Beam 600 Ultima x 2 (is this enough or better with two Aqua grow 1500nd Tiles?)
Light Control unit Aqua ray Control (unsure if ill need one for each AquaGrow beam unit?)
Lights Mounting: TMC Rim Mounts plus TMC mm railing
Filter: JBL Profi e901 Greenline
Heater: Hydor ETH 200w
Glass ware: aqua grow glass inlet and outlet
Aquascaping tools: JBL S, P1 and Sp (scissors, tweezer and a substrate spade)
Drop checker: JBL Drop Checker
CO2 Diffuser: CO2 atomiser
CO2 Glass checker from aquarium garden (UKAPS sponsor)
I already own a JBL pro flora CO2 set Profi 2 (it is 6 years old but should do the trick)
Substrate I'm likely to use
JBL River sand
JBL Aqua plus
JBL Manado
Additional extras
Substate supports (any idea what i can use without spending a fortune?)
2 Normal electronic timers
Extension cable
Tooth brush
JBL blanki
I should add that I'm going to a Dennerle Aquascaping training day (One of the perks of the job) so i might end up changing a few items on the list after that.
Feel free to comment and criticise.
Regards Jonny
