Hey guys been a while, so now ive decided to redo my room which includes upgrading the current 330l to a 600l 6ft by 2ft square ( made by greg, have just messaged him am in the proccess of ordering the tank), i will most likely be doing a large south american cichlid tank.
Now the plan is to build a rimu cabinet out of heart rimu to get that beautiful red grain colour, also with a matching hood.
The filters will be 2x aquaone nautlis 2700 filter, maybe wave makers? First question- what wave makers should i use, i have heard tunze are the best but what models and do i need a controller etc( im completely new to wavemakers) i am wanting ALOT of flow in this tank, so suggestions?
The heaters will be 2 x 300w eheim jager heaters
Substrate im wanting a fine dark grey grit but am having trouble finding anythink like what i have pictured in my head, i wanted sand orginally but i would be un able to gravel vac it so i think a fine grit maybe better suited? Any suggestions? Ideas?
Lighting will most likey a twin 5ft light fitting, possible a twin t5 ballast 54w mounted to the hood- will this be enough? I do like quite bright tanks so will this be enough?
Anything ive missed? Any suggestions? Questions? Will be a slow build so wont be updating all the time but will keep you posted and try to take lots of photos :cophot:
