My "For the next 10 years" tank

[YHS]

Hello, my name is Hady.

I have been in this hobby since 2003, on and off, but mostly off. However, it was in 2012, that my daughter forced me to enter the hobby seriously again.

When i started to rebuild my old tank, I notice that I need to improve a lot of stuff including the tank itself. In 2013, after looking at Harlequin Mania tank build here in this forum, it really inspire me to follow him and build a new tank.

So fast forward to 2014, I started to create new design and buying stuffs for the new tank. My target is to get it up and running before the end of 2015. (Yes…2 years building period)

So, here is my new tank setup which I would like to share my journey here.

Main Tank: 150 cm x 150 cm x 60 cm (3 sided low iron glass 12mm)

Sump Tank: L shaped tank

Frag Tank: 70 cm x 70 cm (glass 12mm)

Total Water volume: approximately 1500-1600 Liters

Here is the "design"

design made by Hineni Interior Design. They drew this in one hour. cant complaint...

Notice the holes at bottom glass. It was actually meant for the closed loop dekroon FWX, unfortunately…the product does not come at my front door. So, scrap the idea.

The Stand with Piano Finish.

After some kicking and punching (and lots of yelling) done in factory, finally got it done!

[YHS]

sorry...correction. the main tank height supposed to be 65 cm with 60 cm waterline (could be higher if the weir jammed)

Thank you guys, really appreciate it.

LED for my frag tank

Lumini Gemis 120R1

Quality is okay. the red color is too much for my eyes. thinking about replacing it, but not until I put it up and (not) see result
