Been a while guys! Last time around I was here noting a build for my 260g in wall tank. Life happened and the house that was in is on the market. Now I'll be building yet another house with another in wall tank design. But a little smaller to suit the space better, not sold on exact tank dimensions but thinking 5 x 2.5 x 2.

Anyway this is a list of equipment I'm looking at any thoughts feedback and reviews of the equipment is what I'm after! I'm in Australia so some of these products particularly Dalua I'm giving local companies a go. So you may not be as familiar with them.

I don't know enough to make judgements on hardware but it all seems good, you might also need a heater and chiller though as the weather in Australia in Sydney at least is one minute 40 degrees the next 5. Also good to see another Aussie :)

Thanks mate! Yeah gonna re use heaters and chillers from previous tanks, I like to get some new equipment for new tanks like new furniture for a new house haha. But it gets a little too expensive without reusing some old stuff!

I used to live Brighton le sands! I'm up in Brisbane these days though. It must be a bit chilly down there right now though with this cold snap! We even hit 5 degrees this morning apparently!!

I'd get the 350 series Gyre, I know its more but none of the parts and controller are backwards compatible.

The parts likely won't be available for the 200 series soon.
