This is my triumphant return to the hobby after several years. Just moved into a new house that we built and I planned for an aquarium in a corner location. I looked around for some custom work, but I ended up DIY. The plan is for a gourami tank.
60 gallon (24x24x24) Rimmed Aquarium Masters tank
Eheim 4+ 350 external canister
Radion XR15W LED lighting
DIY paintball CO2 injection with continuous pH monitoring and auto solenoid control
Empty Corner-I had good foresight to put a power outlet in the corner when we built the house
I am not the greatest carpenter, but I gave it a shot in my new basement workshop
So far so good - hopefully the design is good and will support 500lbs+
My neighbor was kind enough to help me get the base upstairs from the basement
Rimmed 60 Gallon cube
Aquascaping done
More carpentry for the canopy
Some quick paneling to finish it temporarily - I will redo this with better panels when I have more time
First residents arriving - Gold Gourami and Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami
The substrate for the planted area is a combination of black gravel, sand and fluorite along with some plant tabs interspersed.
