My new 180 gallon tank - finished

by dutchy on 03-26-2010 at 09:44 PM
Hi all,

It has now been a little bit more than 6 months since I filled it up. There have been some changes in the scape. Although I think it looks nice, I'm not sure this is what I want. I'm always trying to improve.

So about the scape, if anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

regards,

Hi all,

It's been three weeks since I filled up my tank. (see my pervious blogs). The tank is almost finished now. I still have to finish the two doors for the cabinet, that took some time because I had to find suitable hinges. But who cares about that, the tank is much more important.

These consist of four 10.000K lamps and four 3.000K T5 lamps, which give a combined 6.500K and 250 Watts. The filters were installed with the inline AM1000 reactors, there is two of each, one on the

My new 180 Gallon tank

by dutchy on 01-21-2010 at 07:13 PM
Hi,

Today I received my new 180 gallon tank. I will post here as it developes into (I hope) a beautiful planted tank. The idea is to create an open design, in a hybrid Amano / Dutch scape.
The first thing to do is change the colour of the stand (a cabinet), since this is black (no other colour available) and doesn't match my home's decoration.

If anyone wants to give comments, ideas, ways to improve, you're welcome to do so at any time.
