Looking for recommendations on a cabinet for a Ada 60p, don't fancy paying Ada prices for one and haven't really got the time to build one.

Haven't bought the tank yet just pricing up ready.

Thanks.

I purchased this one a week or so ago

The same make as recommended by Ryan. It's a dense fiber board, so it's quite heavy, with cut outs to the rear left and right. It was also simple to put together. I went of an over-sized cabinet as I needed the extra 300mm for a nano tank to stand next to my 60p, it also gave me more room for storage under the tank. Think about what you want to hide away - for me there was no point having a smaller unit only to have a filter or CO2 bottle stood next to the cabinet. As Ryan has also noted - it is also deeper than the 60p.
 
Any photos of your set up please? I think that would be a bit over sized for what I need but looks nice.

There are some shots of the cabinet. It's still in the protective wrapping. You'll see the cut-outs to the rear left and right top rear corners. There is also a hole to the rear right (for a sump) which i can use for the doser pipework. Also a cable entry to the lower LHS.

As you can see not fully set-up it's just going through the dry start while I sort out all the pipework. Once the 60p is complete i'll move the nano on to the cabinet as well. The little cube thing is just off ebay so I have something to stand the doser on. I recon I have just enough room for 2 filters the gas and the doser/bottles.
 
Thanks for the photos. I went ahead and ordered the 60p and cabinet that Ryan recommended. just got to order a light now (Chihiros a series) and glassware, not looking to spend a fortune on glassware though.
 
very neat Ryan, and some of your scapes are mindblowing :). im unsure on what to filter to use on the 60p, i have a JBL E901 & a Ehiem Pro 3 600, pretty sure the latter would be too much. Also any recommendations on cheap glassware & what tape i would need please? going to go for a iwagumi scape :)
 
Have a look on the Hinterfield website. There intake and outlet glassware is cheap and reasonable quality for the price.
I got a intake skimmer from them cant remember the exact price but was out 15 quid delivered. The outlets are under a tenner.

Hi
Thank for the nice comments. I been lazy need to update the journal.

I would use the ehiem pro 600. I had that in my 60p. Ebay is good for cheap glassware also ebay sell acrylic ones too which work just as good. 16mm will fit on your filter

Cheers
Ryan
