hey everyone, this is my new setup, i just added 50% percent of new water and 50% already cycled water, i have a Rena 300 smartheater, and Hydor koralia 4 in there for now, I'm waiting for my fluval fx5 to come home.
I built the cabinet, it is half finish, just need to cover the kitchen aid under-counter refrigerator and make new oak doors.
- the whole set up is not that expensive, around 500 bucks
- acrylic tank dimension are 65" width x 16" depth (left side) & 40" depth (right side) x 24" height, it includes under gravel filter, (6) 2" inches bulk heads, 2 filters, and cover. Got some heavy/deep scratches on the tank, i used the novus 3-2-1 system to buffed it out, look flawless now, the tank and accessories cost me 100 buck, i live in garden grove, it's located in Topanga canyon (almost 3 hours round trip and my truck almost got stuck in the fr---king mud, worth the drive!)
- i built the oak stand, bought (2) 4'x8' oak laminate from home depot, (20) 2by4 kd stud - $120
- Rena 300watt smartheater - $30 (need another one soon, anyone have an extra one?)
- hydor koralia 4 power head - $40
- fluval fx5 canister filter - 236 on eBay with 8% Bing cash back - $215
- will updates more pictures once i introduce the south American cichlids
- the dog under the tank is cheesecake, hey humane society, that's not her bed, she sleep with my mom! hehe
