Check out the MASA link for the guy who did it as he may mention costs in there.


Ahem, thats me smile.gif

8 years ago they were $750 a piece installed. Price depends on length of tube needed.

Fwiw, I just decomisioned them and installed 50w LED floodlights to replace the aging tubes.


Awesome looking tank Rovik, alot of planning has gone into this and it shows welldone.gif

Here is a quick update:

The tank has gone backwards since wrapping up with school,exams and a lack of time, But its on the way up now...

I don't know what it is but I cant seem to reduce noise on this camera, Mind you it only cost $30.
I know what Ill get myself for Christmas: A new camera.






Can't post on the cichlid forum without cichlids:



That's Enough, No more terrible quality photo's till I can purchase A decent camera.
Cheers.

looks awesome! u should be very proud! the noise that u r getting is just due to the low quality sensor in the camera unless u want to go into photo shop and play around with the levels

Atomisers are useless and short lived. I miss my Sera reactor every day!

Sadly, After a 2 year journey my tanks up for sale. It has become too hard to maintain this aquarium (Both time and money) and give it the justice it needs.

I guess being a student and now being older, your priorities change. Having to pay for car repairs, License, gym memberships and a uni leaves very little funds and time for the tank which is a real shame because I worked so hard to create this tank and maintain it. 

 

Also, Massive thanks to Ollie who built this fine aquarium made sure it all functioned Correctly when it was finally pieced together in those early stages.  :cheers:

 

This is not the end of the hobby for me, Once I get my large 5x2x32 Sold, I'll get something more manageable. :) (Already got it all planned out)

 

If anyone is interested in my aquarium, The FS thread can be viewed at: http://www.perthcichlid.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=58521 

 

Cheers

Fantastic looking tank, I really wish I had the space to take it from you. When time comes for me to move I will be looking at a very similar set up to this and might have to pick your brains about what you would keep the same/change with your set up.
