Is this where the build thread/journals go? If not, please move!
So I have a lot of tanks in the basement for lots of purposes from plants to breeding but nothing fancy.
This build is a peninsula tank, on a reinforced dividing wall between my kitchen and living room. And I plan for it to be spectacular. It will be my prize. No expense spared. I decided not to plumb the wall and instead will keep all equipment next to the tank. This will be a planted community tank.
I had $400 saved for this tank back in February. I said to myself, I need to do this right. Let’s professionally aquascape this thing. So I doordashed on the weekends for almost 6 months straight and invested $2,500.00 into this set up buying piece by piece including a gorgeous $1,200.00 custom acrylic tank from the best in the industry - Envision Acrylics taking 2 months to build.
The patience and work has been hard but all supplies have been ordered arrived and everything is paid off and it’s time to build this weekend.
Supplies:
- Custom Acrylic Tank 1/2 inch high grade acrylic
- Eheim 600/2217 + installation extension kits
- Fluval Plant 3.0 light 48 inch (may buy another)
- 5LB GLA Co2 Tank
- GLA regulator
- GLA drop checker
- GLA reactor
- Kasa Smart Wi-Fi controlled Power Strip (very excited for this)
- Inkbird 306A Wi-Fi remote heater controller
- ADA Garden Mat
- ADA check valve
- 50L UNS Controsoil Normal Black
-10L UNS Controsoil Fine Black
- Custom ‘bonsai’ tree ornament
- Dwarf Hairgrass tissue culture
- Christmas moss

- ADA tying thread
- Python vacuum
- ADA aquascaping tool kit
- Eheim skimmer 350
- NilocG ferts
