Lasses Dream Build

[Lasse]

Awesome tank..

if those blue glass fish ever span can you please send me some of there offspring.... Please

No spawn reported yet. 3 years ago you could find plenty of them in every flee market in Sweden; nowadays you will be glad if you find 1 after visiting 20 flee markets. Probably because of overfishing :) When my wife want to visit a flee market I say - only if I´m allowed to buy a fish of glass if there is anyone.

Hi all

My name is Lasse Forsberg and I live in small place named Bohus – 20 kilometres north Gothenburg, Sweden. I got my first tank 1961 when I was eleven years old and lived in an inland country town 160 kilometres from Gothenburg – I had it for a couple of years but soon I become a teenager and get interested of some other living things. Back in 1974 when I move to Gothenburg together with my girlfriend I started with aquariums again. Today - the same girlfriend is my wife since 39 years ago so there has not been any reason to stop the hobbyJ. For those that is good in math – I know that 1974 is 42 years ago but here in Sweden – we like to test things for a long time before we decide us – at least the female part need timeJ. The best things with long partnership is that different project does not always need to be wife approved – only wife accepted.


My professional life has been everything that have with water, fish, water treatment, fish farming and public aquariums to do – both from a biological and technical point of view. I´m retired since 1 year ago but still working with recirculated fish farming (farming catfish) and with one of the public aquariums in Gothenburg – Sjöfartsmuseet Akvariet.

My old tank that I started 6 years ago did not work very well this summer and I was very busy during the autumn and in January I sold that aquarium (and another well working aquarium).

This movie show my Percula 120 during spring 2015 and the picture show my Red Sea Max 130.

However – I had a plan to start another tank – a tank that should be little like showcase what I have learned during my more than 40 year as an aquarist. In January this year I order an aquarium from Poland – a custom build tank with a display tank of 300 litres.

This is the first idea

​

This was the final order - I want it like this. I send some text and some pictures to a guy that did not speak Swedish and not so good English either (and I do not speak Polish !) I have a friend that speak Polish so if I got some question - he could help me - I hope. The delivery (pre pay) was promised to be early march. After paying - the sound of silence was my Polish aquarium builders signature tune. No questions - no contact

March pass by - no Aquarium - a little bit nervous. My wife looks at me with special expression in her face. (after 42 years, I know what that look means) April start - and finally I got a e-mail - delivery on Monday. The tank arrived on Tuesday (same week)

It was perfect - it was like I wanted it.

Now - the build could start - I let the pictures talk for them selves

This was the technical part. Lets start with the aesthetic part of the aquarium

Hi Lasse, i love this background and your way of hiding the powerheads and I’m thinking of using this background in a new office tank I’m setting up shortly and have found a supplier in the UK, how is it to cut and drill? And once cut do you have to seal the edges to prevent any leeching? Did you use the limestone type? Sorry for all the questions.

Here's another NPS

Eleutherobia sp

What is this know as normally if wanted to find one

What is this know as normally if wanted to find one

I think Orange finger coral. I Google it, similar pictures come up
Hope that helps

It is easy to cut and drill and you normally do not need to seal it. However - hermits can eat of the softer part (inside). I will take a photo tomorrow. You can get some assembly instructions here - but it seems like they are reconstruct the homepage - it is mixed English and german :) You clue it with silicon - but one important tips is to use black silicon. Otherwise - you can get some unwanted mirror or reflection phenomenons.

I use a mix between normal rock colours and limestone. Looks a little odd in the beginning - but after a while - you will not see any difernces
