30 years in the hobby... 6 years with Discus... Moving to a new place which deserves a bigger tank...
So far, here is my project:
101405101406
It will have 158cm x 70cm x 75 cm (62"x27"x29") - +800l (220gal), with a Bean Animal overflow and a Sump with 110cmx41cmx55cm (43"x16"x21") - 248l (65gal).
I also plan to add a refugium (the blue box) to work as Nitrate filter (plants and more plants).
The stand was delivered last week, the guy that did it replaced the materials for stainless steel... I think the max load is something near to 86 tonnes!!!!
I've just ordered the tank... Will be home in 30 days or so.
I'm still wondering on the sections of the sump... Given that I'm migrating from Canisters to Sump, this will be a novelty for me... So doing a lot of research here and in other forums as well.
BTW, the idea is to have my current stock loaded in the tank (4 discus, 3 plecos, 4 corys and dozen of tetras)... plus 5 more Discus.
Few to no plants in the tank, my current inspiration is the tank form Aquarium Design Group with the Blue Discus, I think they named it as a Tribute to Heiko (or something like this).
Best,
Carlos
