My 110gallon tank!

[Alkylhalide]

So I finally purchased, brought home, cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and setup my 110gallon tank. Right now all i did was dump everything from my 50gallon into it and buy a new filter for it but I hope soon to start setting it up to bereally pretty. I am up for any suggestions too!

Those lucky axolotls!

Its custom built too so it isnt a floating bottom tank either i think it was a good buy.

 

[HayleyK]

How much did it cost you?

 

[Alkylhalide]

For the tank and the stand its on it was 100$ it also came with a screen top but i dont need that i will be mounting my light onto the tank once i have some more money. I got the filter on clearance for 60$ so i spent 160 to setup the 110gallon

Sounds like a good deal to me! Have fun

 

[HayleyK]

That's about $150AUD that's a pretty good deal! Ahhh I wish I could have such a big tank but I'm pretty sure my family would think I'm slightly crazy.. They don't understand

I think Everyone thinks im crazy already so it doesnt matter anymore lol. I just got the quote for the custom glass mount for my tank light and its only going to be 20$

Wow! What kind of lighting? Fluorescent?

I assume so, it was the light that was on my 50gallon, but unfortunately it only extends 4 and a half feet and my new tank is 5feet so i decided to get two pieces of glass to silicone to my tank to mount the light on.

Good idea! I have a fluorescent light strip that fits over my tank perfectly but it has no cover or anything and I have a spray bar that creates some splashing so I'm going to get an acrylic cover for it and silicone it on

 

[Alkylhalide]

Thats a good idea too! Yeah i dont use a hood expecially during the summer so i bought a light that is just the canopy or whatever you call it, it can be mounted on the ceiling but i dont want to do that.

I'd really love to get one of these, they have white and blue so you could use the blue to glow your gfps and the white when taking pics and whatnot, super expensive but they look amazing, give off no heat at all, and LED lights in water just give that perfect shimmer effect.

That would be nice! I got my light from someone for 30$ but its a 150$ light with no bulb. So you would still need to buy that so i say that is a rediculous awesome deal. Leds would be great though because of heat.
