TOPIC: Final Pictures - Completed Project

Final Pictures - Completed Project 2 years, 5 months ago #63820

Some of you may remember my initial DIY

See here for photos: www.oscarfishlover.com/oscar-fish-advice...oobs-new-diy-project

Started off with a basic pine stand and tank, installed wier, sump 3d background, then built the cabinet and hood.

Here are some pictures of the completed project:



Water change system - a can run a hose to the pipe which is attached and simply turn it on. Fills the container which is 250 litres. When full float valve shuts it off. Small pump and 2 heaters in the bottom to heat the water evenly. 250 litre PER MINUTE pump also in bottom with a float value. Simply syphon water out front door (250 litres) stick big hose in and turn it on. Instant 250 litre water change within 10 minutes.



FX5 and Eheinm canister (the FX5 is only for extra particle filtration, Eheim is to ensure water flow behind the 3d background as the outlet is behind there)



Sump inc spinner and refugium. In the cabinet there are 2 3' lights mounted - run 24/7 for the plants.

Tank









The entire setup!

Setup:
4' x 2' x 2' Tank with 100L Sump filtration

Beautifull!
Love the background, aquascaping, fish.
Heck ,I love it all!
Looks very profesional.
Maybe you should charging folks to look at your tank.lol

You say refugium lights are on 24/7?
Shouldn't they be runing counterclockwise, from your tanklights?
I thought they needed a dark period as well.
Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!

Thanks guys. Yeah plants dont need a certain photoperiod - they will grow as long as there is light.

i am a huge fan of the black sand - really adds contrast.
