I tend to use New Old Stock as a means to save a little money as I have 4 (soon 6) identical tanks on a common system. (I like to emply similar tech/products to remove variablity between the display tanks in my common system).

I'm looking for the following:
At last two (2) 6W 12.5" 8000k Ecoxotic Stunner Strips.

As many of the Stunner Reflectors as I can get (could use 7 more to be honest)

At least one (1) Hydor hydrokable substrate heating cables. US 110V... 25W. I'd take an...

First for my tank parameters. I currently have no livestock in the tank other than some snails which hitchhiked on my plants. They seem to be thriving. I wanted to get my plants to speed with healthy plant growth before adding fish or shrimp to the tank

I'm about to start my new tank well if it is finished in one of the next two weeks or so, this will be my fist attempt to scape.
The dimensons are 130x50x50cm, for filtration got me Oase biomaster 600 with thermo and will be using a Sera flore 500 reactor pressurized CO2. Lightning will be 2x Aqua medic Qube 50 maybe 3 if the spread is not sufficient enough but I will figure that out when my tank is here. For the substrate I got Ebi gold and sand for the front side. Stones are...

I'm doing this journal because I love sharing my pictures and what better platform to do so than thebarrreport.
This will mainly be a picture thread updated weekly or less.
thanks for looking

this is mainly a syn only tank but my collectoritis gets the better of me

Yes, it is the first time I've attempted to do this here but it's not a difficult process and I don't think I did anything incorrectly. Five images are waiting to be saved and if I forget again and close the tab, I'll have to do it all over. again.

I tried a few times yesterday to save and finally gave up. I tried again just now, on two different browsers, with...

It's about a year and a half now, and from the last 6 months, plant mass has started to decline. No matter what test or ph pen i try, I can't get more than half a point of ph drop (resting is 6.5, it sometimes goes to 6.0 after the co2 shuts off but never lower). The outlet of the filter is totally cloudy from microbubbles, I've checked for leaks, and everything seems okay. the first 3 months were hugely successful...

It will be 125 gallons, high tech with sump, deep substrate, and nature style.

It has been nearly a year in the making because I have planned pretty much everything from the stand, to the overflow system to the composition of the substrate.

First up is the stand. Here it is with my old 55 gallon on top. It is assembled from aluminium tslots (I hope it can take the...
