After seeing the quality of Georges TMC signiture, i thought i would treat myself. I sold the old 80cm of earlier in the week, and took delivery of this one this morning. I had planned this one out for a couple of weeks now. I wanted to go for a good old timeless nature aquarium. I am really really impressed with the quality of the TMC tank and stand. Excellent value for money. The one thing i didn't do was cut a half moon out of the cabinet. Something i wished i had done now, as the pipes just won't bend around the corners, well they will when i buy some 90 degree angles. TBH, the flow isn't to bad with the inlet and outlet at the back.
some specs
tank- 60x45x30
lighting - TMC 1500nd tile (a much better colour rendition that the previous tile)
filter - Ehiem 2073
substrate - Tana sand and tropica under substrate
hardscape - Redmoor wood and dragon stone
pressurised C02 @ 2 BPS
ferts - TPN + (5 Squirts a day to begin with) - NA colour and NA power
plants - HC, Bolbitis, Crypt Parva, amania, weeping and cristmas moss, anubias nana, ludwigia articua, Ranunculus, crypt petchii, crypt willisii
here's the tank...
