Last night I picked up a new toy. An aqua one acquience cube 550.
It was a marine tank in a former life, belonging to my sisters fella, he has thousands of pounds of marine stock, he builds tanks and he's currently making a wall mounted nano reef from scratch.
So, I've got it home, nice clean and filled it up. Got the filter set up, primed and leak tested. I've got two uv tubes, one to be replaced with white and hopefully give the tank a nice colour, make the fish glow. It's very blue with both tubes on so I'm not sure on that yet. I'll have to see how it looks with a white tube in.
I need to make a cradle for the bulb tubes out of perspex and a lid to finish it off.
Plans are to get some white/light natural gravel, some plants and a centre piece of either bog wood or rock.
Fish wise, my male fighter from the fluval, rainbow shark, load of neons, then I'm not sure.
Some pics for now
