New 90p

[AHJAK]

Hello people!
My name is Alen Hodžić and I am from Sveta Nedelja - small city near Zagreb, Croatia.
So, this is my new tank - classic optiwhite 90x45x45, handmade. Cabinet is also DIY which I made it from 18 mm chipboard. There's sketch

and "final product"

Lighting unit is ATI SunPower T5 4x39W. 3 Bulbs are 3 Narva T5 Bio Vital (6000K) and 1 JBL JBL Ultra Natur (9000K).

And this is hardscape which is made with a little help from my friend Ivan Lugović...

And after I added some sand...

[AHJAK]

Great start and welcome to the forum Looking forward to seeing it planted up and I must say that is some great DIY cabinet skills you have. Keep up the good work!...

 

[Paks]

gad ! the hardscape though. *drool*.

So damn beautiful tsk tsk !

 

[Wisey]

This is really impressive, both the diy skills and the hardscape! Watching with interest, can't wait to see how this one progresses! I'm hoping to create a similar sort of outcrop when I get my project started next year, but was looking at the reef builders epoxy, so the hot glue gun might be another option for me. I assume the glue is not toxic at all?

 

[AHJAK]

Wisey - It's not as I know...

Finally planted... For now I used 6 pots of Hemianthus Callitrochoides 'Cuba' and 2 pots of Cryptocoryne Parva mini (aquarium plants in gel)

Filtration - JBL CristalProfi e1501 greenline

Outflow pipe

Immediately after filled with water...unfortunately inflow pipe didn't come yet

Very nice, loving that rocky outcrop/ledge. You don't need to use that much media, if you remove some it will increase flow. I will be using 2 of these filters with spraybars on the same size tank just to be sure I don't have problems with flow. However I'm sure you know what your doing, there's more than one way to go about things

Beautiful scape! What is the device in the left upper corner?

 

[imak]

Probably an eheim skimmer

 

[Daniel]

Really coming together now. Can't wait to see the plants fill out.

Beautiful scape! What is the device in the left upper corner?

It's an Eheim Surface Skimmer.
