Hello all,

I'm living in Slovakia, maybe some aquascapers can know me locally as "chnuro".
I decided to use new nick name which is easier to remember internationally
You can find me also on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/planting.peet

I'm doing aquascaping since 2011, now I'm back after 7 years break.
I have plan to share my current tank(s) step by step. I have now modified 60P like tank, just starting 20L mini and for longer time 160L tank and my parents place. All are threated as hi-tech setups.

Let me introduce my past best tanks:

My most favorite tank was 60P tank, called Finger garden, where I broke the glass at some point, unfortunately:


My bedroom mini had more layouts, but this one I liked the most:


These two tanks in interier:


And some video:


Since 2012 I'm working on my own excel-based calculator. You have here awesome IFC Aquarium Fertilizer Calculator, mine one has slightly different approach.
I will share it soon. Looking forward for feedback and discussion on it.

Thank you.

Yes, I did the lights by myself. It was approx. in 2012, at that tine it was very unique light
The one for 60p has 2x COB 5000K and designed reflector from mirrors to evenly distribute light - it works perfect. But it was too bulky.

In these days with fashion RGBW lights I bought new light for my 65x35x40 tank, but I'm not very satisfied - maybe I will build something by myself again.

I do not like the "lighting shelf" designs. I prefer spot-light design, something like Kessil A360 or A160, eventually Skylight HYPERSPOT or newer HYPERSPOT F.
This kind of light creates awesome shimmering effect. It also support feel of crystal clear water.

I do have SkyLight HyperSpot L over my 100x50x50cm and fully understand your point of view
