so no mangroves here ^^

I know you're in a different continent and all, but start with Amazon and e-bay. The sheets were not expensive. Also, consider hanging your side panels using Z-brackets- it's so nice to be able to just pull off the side panel all at once and have full access. Check out the details in my thread.

Haha that's no problem, I was kidding anyway
Yes cabinet is 90% finish in my head. Will be similar to the one from the drop off but with some extra ideas

Got it.. well I am ALL FOR using every available inch of space for extra water. It's one of the reasons my wife hates my tanks so much..
Oh well.
By the way, beautiful portraits. I am now one of your legion of followers.

Haha my wife hates me too for the new tank, but I told her it is not that big (actually bigger) as the old tank xD

Followers? What do you mean?

Cheers

Here we go some minor progress

Glass is ordered and I am planning some of the filtration equipment

Stand got some upgrade parts for the new designed sump and the ro/di water compartment

Still need some wood for the technic area




Cheers

Flo´s Comeback

Hi Flo,

Looking at your plans and since you ask for feedback, here it goes...
It seems that you'll be facing challenges when trying to fill the dosing and RODI compartments. Also 10 liters for dosing I think it's excessive. You could do with 5 liters pretty well and gain space on top.
As per he sump I would go with a U shape (Hugo style) since you'll use better the space and also gain a low flow area good to place matrix/siporax or similar stuff.
The electrical stuff separated its a very good move.

Just my opinion...

Hi Dennis, in which way do you lodge canisters for balling above RODI reservoir?

hey mate!
thanks for the input, really appreciate it!
filling the RODI compartment won´t be a problem, i´m going to cut a big hole in the plate above it and so i can fill it easily (i hope)
yes 10l are a lot but i am not sure about that, maybe 5 liters will do too but i checked some out online and they would fit
as for the sump layout i think it´s too late it´s already ordered but if it doesn't work the way i like i can still change it by myself
cheers and thanks again

Like the way how it all fits so far!

Cheers
