Hi


So this is the start of my obsession.
It all started with a friend making a joke about me having to buy a ADA 120P - I took it too seriously...

So my tank got delivered on the 12th of June and it took me about a month to sell the old tank to make space for this one and get all the other goodies that I needed together...

Tank specs:

ADA 120P
2kg CO2 with SAGA Reg.
Cyrex 54W t5 unit, 6 tubes - 3 x Aquastar 10k, 3 x Skye White 8.8k
ADA Style cabinet with "Plumb Tree" finish
Hydor inline 300W heater
Eheim 2076 and Tetratec 1200EX


Some pictures to follow...

Had 2 great friends over to help with it all and once the hard scape was done we ended up with something like this...

Left it all for a week, looking at it every day to see if I wanted to change anything, but I changed nothing and started planting on the 11th of July...

Not sure why your last picture reminds me something from Riddic movies, something wild and dangerous. Very strong hardscape and nice plants!
 
looks great Jakkal, good hardscape layout, Hygrophila 'Araguaia' would fit in well for a contrast in texture..
can you open the reactor to clean it?
Unfortunately not, but it is quick and easy to disconnect and pull a brush cleaner through it...
