I have literally just seen the last link you sent on this message. Thats aquascaoe is lovely. Nice job. I'm really struggling with rock placement. Centre overflow/weir at the back is proving to be a problem and also not wanting to take up half the tank with substrate is an issue too as I want...

Hi mate. I just saw this reply. Unfortunately I have committed to the polystyrene. With the amount of silicone I have used. And the rocks in be using on it too I doubt very much it is going anywhere. Hopefully my ignorance doesnt slap me in the face in the near future

Hi everyone. I have finished the stand. Ordered the pipe work, cut the mdf sides and front in. The polystyrene is siliconed down ( heavily) substrate in and I purchased a piece on lava rock I really liked to start off. HELP*** I'm in need of Christmas moss. And alot of it. Does anyone have an...

Good evening. Thanks for the input :) the idea of the polystyrene really comes down to cost more than anything. I've done a fair bit of research on the polystyrene. Have you had any first hand experience with it floating? I'm only planning on java moss carpet to start out so I'm not too...

Got some polystyrene out of some flat pack furniture to build a Base for my substrate. (money saver) it's all in place ready for siliconing together then I will be using silicone to stick it to the Base.

You stand looks nice and strong. Im waiting to source my aquarium plumbing and fit the connectors then il be building the rest of the frame, putting in its final spot and fixing once the sump can go in

I agree also. There will be alot more bracing after the sump is in place :) I'm debating co2, I've used a liquid for before but never gas form and you can see the results in a matter of about 2 weeks, excuse the tank, I literally could watch them thing grow. The new tank will be mainly java. I...

Just checked the lights in the aquarium in a dark room and I'd say for my needs it's absolutely perfect :) there is a slight spotlight effect but I like that. I've attached some photos with different colour and intensity, not that it's visible with a camera.

Lights, controller and pump arrived and I must say. It doesn't look to shabby at all. Very happy with the coverage in daylight but I will wait to see what it's like in a few hours?

Thanks Zeus. I'm slightly worried after reading your post :D I have a horrible feeling Il be making another order. The only positive I can pull from it is my water level to substrate will only be about 15inches at the deepest point. Lights arrive this afternoon so Il set them up and Il get a...

Lovely. Thank you. Il be looking into this later. The durso looks good

Hi Ian. Thanks for your input. I haven't finished with the bracing yet. I only done the back yesterday as I needed to get the tank on the stand and had to cut the whole for the drilled holes from the weir. I will be adding extra supports to the side and front once the sump is in but cant at the...

Just a quick introduction, I'm a new to the website an thought I'd share my new planted tank build, i have started a thread about the new build. I'm new to this so.as much help as possible would be much appreciated :) thank you

. Just added more uprights to the back of the tank and cut out the back for the pipes from/too the weir. Got the tank up on the stand now. As mentioned Ordered lights and pump yesterday and they are arriving tomorrow. I need to purchase pipe work for this tank/sump this week as the manufacturer...

Here she is :) arrived half hour ago. As you can see the stand is still in need of bracing and more up rights in the corners. I have used 8x2 for the corners, osb ply for the bottom and marine ply for the top so I don't need to worry about spillage as much Aware the 8x2 is completely over kill...

Morning, I thought I'd start sharing my build today as my new tank is arriving. I have ordered a custom made 75gallon (300litre) 52inch long, 16 inch high, 22inch front to back (frag like) tank from prime aquariums w/ 80litre sump as an upgrade from my horrible 270litre curved front. The tank...
