Hello everyone,
This is the start of my journal, I am gathering everything together in order to set my new tank up so want to document everything down so that I can get advice from people along the way. This way I should have everything ready to set the tank up without to many problems (fingers crossed)
Tank; 90x45x45 Optiwhite Bracless Tank, (Aquariums ltd UK) sat on a Solid Oak Cabinet
Lighting; 2 x TMC 1500 Ultima LED Tiles (with resistors removed to stop high pitch noise when using dimmer) running off of 2 x TMC 2 channel power controllers (Storm function included)
Filtration/Flow; 2 x Tetra Tech EX1200, Acrylic Inflo and Outflow pipes, Hydor 900lph Power Head
Heater; Hydor inline 300W
Co2; 5 KG FE, Up inline diffuser
Substrate; ADA AquaSoil 18liters
Hard Scape; Landscape Rock and Redmoor Wood
Plants; Yet to decide
Ferts; Tropica Specialized Fertilizer, Flourish Excel - Both dosed using a Marine Magic Aquarium Pump
I am hoping to seek advice from you all on hardscape placement, plant arrangements and anything else that will help me along the way, I will add plenty of pictures of dry hardscape set ups so I can get some advice on what to change ect.
Plant wise I would like a lot of plants in the tank so need to decide what style of arrangement I will have, leaning towards a dutch style but am worried that if I use a lot of stem plants the filters will be bending the stems over at the back of the tank.
First things first, here is the rock I have to use; (on my work bench)
Redmoor wood;
Oak Cabinet; (in the shop)
Lights; (one is running on the tank in my avatar at the moment)
Dosing pump;
Acrylic pipes; (spray bar pipes need trimming)
Co2 Gear; (running on existing tank, cables ect will be tidied up when in new cabinet)
I will get some pictures of dry hardscape set ups shortly.
Cheers
Dan
