Flo´s Comeback

[FloformAustria]

Hey guys!

after a rather long time without any updates or anything from my side i am back... sort of :lolspin:

so what happened to the Drop-off tank... well me and my gf bought a new home, bigger better, but without the right place for a drop-off tank... so i had to tear it down... all the living animals are on vacation at a friends place

i am still trying to sell the tank but so far no luck with that

however the new tank is coming along slowly... just ordered the glas and build the new stand

the new tank is going to be 120cm long, 85cm wide and 65cm high so something around 600 liters, a bit more then the last tank.





this were the first visualizations...

i am going to use most of my equipment only the gyre will be sold since i got two additional Vortech MP40 QD

will build a manifold in the sump area to power my UV, Chaeto reactor and some other filters. I am also planning on using Atemkalk for the skimmer. Some friends of mine are using that and you really can tell the difference.

yesterday i got the stand:



and after a cleaning session everything looks like new:


so the roadmap for the next few weeks:

• figure the new aquascape out
• pluming
• waiting for the glass to arrive
• getting the room ready and as far waterproof as possible
• find the money to buy the lights

so that´s it from me for now!

hope this tank will get as good as i hope!

cheers

Looking good, I always like that 80/20 aluminum but have always been hesitant to use it myself as I have no idea how to skin it! Are you planning on skinning it?

Hey Flo, danke
Hast schon recht, ist immer toll alles zusammen zu suchen.
Ich freue mich besonders nach fast 6 Jahren ohne
Dauert alles sehr lange... seit Anfang April ist von meiner Seite alles fertig... jetzt muss ich auf andere warten
Ich bin gespannt wie sich dein Becken entwickelt

thanks! i can´t wait too! but i am happy that i can take my time and do everything without haste... the last few tanks all had to be build up pretty fast and so i made some mistakes... not now i hope ^^

thanks! i´m going to do it like i did with my last tank, all wooden plates in white
i hope that is what you meant with skinning

yes, found the power supply for my MP40QD :lolspin:
will buy some stuff tomorrow but without the glass i can't do that much...
will paint the wall behind the tank with latex color to make it more resistant against water and humidity

Congrats Flo!
Looks like this will be a well thought out plan, are you making the tank yourself? Anyway, look forward to seeing this beauty

thanks Perry!

i am planing all by myself as usual but the glass work is done by a pro


so guys just planned my sump area completely new:


i think this is going to be a super clean setup and thats worth all the brain power I've got
but with that the electrical stuff is separated from the watery stuff :beer:

what you guys think?

Cheers

Nice Florian. Love the dimensions and planning.
Some hybrid lights will do well.
