60P - The Shimmering of Light

Thank you guys,

but it's been a while since the last shot.

I'm thinking about starting a new scape soon. Perhaps I'll wait one additional month, make some shots and then re-scape this thing.

As far as I can see it's been around 4 months since you began, isn't it? That's really a fast turnover... I will keep tuned to see the next one :)

Well, to be honest Viktor... it only looks nice, that's all.
During maintenance and cleaning it is more or less a drawback as you can't move the light to the back of the tank (like you could do with the "old" 601).
And you have to clean it at least once a week.

If the scape has a nice colourful stem-plant background then it looks really nice.
But I'm really wondering how it will look with an Iwagumi type scape.

Overall, I would not pick it up next time. It's more ore less a nice gimmick.

Apart from that, I'm really happy with the new light unit!
 
Yes, you can detach it, but you have to be very careful.
It sits quite tight and it could scratch the matte surface of the stand.

sometimes is nice to start a new tank, the bad thing of doing that is that a mature aquascape is lost, and there are things that just time can do, that's what makes your tank so beatiful. Look at Amano's 180c at sumida aquarium, when it was at the ADA gallery it was about 10 years old, it was so beautiful. But then they rescape it and it lost it's magic.

Think it twice before you destroy that, you have a priceless garden in there.
 
Ahoi UKAPS,

ok, I think I'll keep the layout for the 60P for a while :)

BUT no one said that I can't start a new project in parallel right? ;)

Time to start some rock work hehe:

I sorted them today and will start arranging the layout the next weeks.
With a little bit of fine-tuning the right part should look quite nice in a 120P ;)

Cheers,
Chris
 
Wow great so we can expect a 120P journal soon, have you decided about the tank, filter and light, so you gonna use LED or T5 and while arranging the layout don't damage the floor;)
 
Hi Andrew,

tank will be a custom made optiwhite 120P-one from "Emmel" the former ADA manufacturer in germany (before they changed production to China/Japan).
Filter, I have no clue at the Moment, but I will NOT use the ADA ones. Too loud and expensive. I guess I will stick with Eheim here (perhaps 2 for a better flow).

Light will most likely be T5 OR a custom-selfmade LED. As all the LED Solutions for this tank size are way to expensive in my opinion.

Cheers!
