Hello!
So after a recent trip to TGM i have finally got what i have secretly always wanted a ADA Cube Garden 60P which is W60xD30xH36 (60l). The clarity of the glass and the pretty much none existent silicone make this a really special product. Its far better than other opti-whites i have owned. I am really too excited and over enthusiastic about the tank. I showed my wife expecting her to be as excited as me, and she simply said "Its a fish tank?" DOH! I didn't even try to explain
Another reason for choosing this was its aspect ratio is very close to that of the Golden Ratio of 1 to 1.6. I never used to really get this but what i do understand is that some tanks look visually more appealing than others, and to be honest i need all the help i can get!
This is going to be in my study/office so it will be replacing my old 35l Nano, which has been relegated to the garage. This is already being used as a supplementary holding tank.
As seems a tradition here on UKAPS, i have started my journal well before the scaping stage, as i like the feedback I have got previously on other journals. Its helps when you have the UKAPS massive giving advice, criticism and support!
The plan so far isn't clear, but its going to be done right is all i can say. I am currently planning how to suspend my light from the cupboards above my desk. The light is an Arcadia Luminaire 4x24 T5. I want it suspended as i want the open feel to the tank. It also gives me the ability to raise/lower the light as required. The only things i can say is its gonna have wood, lots of it and probably Manzi wood at that
Here is the tank, still in its protective wrapping....

Once things get a little clearer in my mind i will include all the equipment and plant spec's
Thanks for looking
