Hello guys! After a while disconnected from the hobby I return with a new project, which you can participate and offer your opinions.

This project starts from scratch because I sold all my equipment in my previous clearing, it will be located in the living room, therefore a lot of importance will be given to the aesthetics of the set, trying to make everything very clean and in harmony with the rest of the furniture .

As for the approach of the same, it will be focused on animals with low requirements, I will try to recreate the conditions of the deep areas of the reef, with bluish spectra and softer currents, being the majority of its soft animals and some lps, the dimensions, the main ballot box will be 50x18x18 with 70 galons and a sump of about 26galons.

Greetings guys!

I show a model that I made to see how the proportions of the urn and the design of the structure would look like:

thanks for the welcome! this afternoon I was able to have some time to paint it, I used zinc chromate primer and anti-friction paint, gray color! In my previous aquarium I made the black interior and I had a hard time seeing things well, this will go white xD

All elements have been sealed to prevent water ingress, 15 plugs are being installed.

Tank looks like it’s going to be sick. Can’t wait to see this continue.
