Hey all!
So I thought I'd get a build thread started for my aquarium that I plan to set up over the next 3-4 weeks.
I don't have a lot of images as I'm still waiting for things to arrive, and I believe I might be in some strife when it comes to my cabinet, but I'll save that until the end.
The aquarium is: 1200mm long, 460mm high and 460mm deep. The tank will hold approximately 250L (+ what ever the sump holds!)
My sump will hold:
Clarisea SK-3000
2x appropriately sized Eheim heaters plugged in to a InkBird Wifi Controller
1x Nyos 160 Skimmer (Overkill, I know, but I have it laying around)
1x Pacific Sun AR-Pro Algae Reactor - Medium
Sicce return pump (I don't know the exact specs of this - I've owned it for quite some time and am debating whether or not to use it. I used it on a 500L system for approximately 12 months)
1.9L of MarinePure balls
Tunze Osmolator for top offs
The light on this tank will be the Illumagic Blaze X 120.
Now, the fun part. The tank is fitted to a cabinet but I'm not sure how I feel about a very slight overhang.
My tank builder has suggested it will be fine, but it makes me feel a bit uneasy. Obviously I will be putting some foam under the tank but would I be better off putting some plywood as well or something underneath and evening out the overhang on the back and front? Or am I just going to need to get a new cabinet?
The overhang is the front (or back) panel, left and right panels are completely flush.
