HI there,

 

I with the filters , as what i prefered to use and also not hard to clean at all....The sump is used for an over flow from the tank, that has contunies water top from my water storage....

 

The green tubing is getting replace with clear custom tubing , so that should hide most of it and also the plants ...

 

I am very happy with the setup ...And its fully automatic.. just need to siphone the poo up and straight into a drainage point in the cabient under the tank.

 

So pretty happy with it all.

 

Thanks everyone for your comments...

Wild Royal blue

 

Wild Red Cupeira

 

Wild Heckles

 

Wild Greens

 

Red alqueners

 Rummy nose

 

 black widow tetras

I use K1 media in my sump in a seprate compartment,

 

So i think have it covered.

 

Thanks again

Hi everyone,

 

I thought I would share some pics of my tank that Im setting up this week.  Has been 10 months in the making.  Franks tanks made the tank for me in Low iron clear glass, black silcone and a good mate of made the high gloss white canient.

 

It will have two 2080 filters plus 120 liter sump, co2, ro controller etc.  Lighting is Vertex Illumina 1800 LED with red ,blue and white led modules.

 

and of course it will hold my Royal wild blues, Heckles, Red alqueners , San merahs.

 

Here are some pics and will post more as we keep going.
