Little info on what’s in the cabinet.
Oase biomaster 350, bottom cage coarse foam, two middle trays have alphagrog in as media and the top tray is the standard orange oase fine foam. (Sometimes add a purigen bag but I can’t honestly say I’ve seen the difference it makes)
The pre filter has been drilled out to increase flow and I’m running fine (orange) pre filter sponges
Temp @ 23 degrees
CO2 is supplied by a 2.5kg extinguisher, GLA regulator and CO2 art inline diffuser. One bottle lasts roughly 8 months
Light and CO2 times are controlled by some smart plugs

Much prefer it with the wood! Makes it more 3D. The Balansae drifts on the surface work too.
By this point the 90p replacement/ upgrade has been Scaped and I’m now getting the itch to make the move.
However, the 60p continues to look great and is a breeze to maintain!
*Cyperus Helferi outgrew the tank and I wasn’t really enjoying the look
*Sagittaria Subulata is a great plant, needs thinning out bi-weekly, but even that’s easy as the leaves just pull out whole from the base.
Amano shrimp continue to throw soil onto the sand foreground. I’m pretty sure they get enjoyment from it.

The original setup was run at 100% for 8 hours.
It’s currently at 100% for 6 hours as the new tank location is near a large window so gets a substantial amount of light from that aswell. I had it on 100% for a while but suffered a fair amount of green spot algae on the glass.
I also timed the light to come on early in the morning to more match the daylight hours through the window, I had previously had it on later so I could enjoy the tank lit up in the evening. ( I just turn the light on now when I want to enjoy it )
To answer your question with the Hra… it was 6 hours @ 100% topped up by sunlight.

Looks lovely! Very strange patterns on the puffer, almost looks like that parasite that tunnels right below the skin except this is not a parasite and not horrifying 😆
I think it’s the males that develop these patterns, looks pretty good doesn’t it.
It was a wtf moment when I spotted it. They are all pretty plump and lively so can’t be doing too badly.
Thanks, it’s been a great tank to learn the ropes on.Been reading the entire topic and you`ve made me jealous.
What inlet/outlet are you using? Are they ADA or something else?
The inlet/outlet pipes are made by Aquavitro, purchased from @Scaped Nature in Norwich.
I highly recommend them, nice quality and I haven’t missed cleaning glassware that’s for sure! 🤣 I have modified the outlet a little because the jet was a little too intense and I wanted a bit more surface agitation. I’ll grab some pictures to show what I’ve done.
