Dane's 600 Litre Upgrade

So after having my 4ft tick over nicely the last year I have gotten the itch to go bigger.

I want to keep discus again and this time I'm making sure I go big enough.

I'm planning on going around 600 litres and have already bought my new 5ft setup second hand.

It's 1500*600*600 and I'm planning on doing an interesting filtration setup underneath once again.

My water change system worked well for me with the 4ft so I will be using a similar seeing for this one. 200 litres will be stored under the tank at all times for water changes and I'm gonna install a 1kw heater to heat it just before water changes. This should help reduce electrical costs during pre-heating of water.

I've bought myself a DCP 5000 which will be delivered soon.

I will update my progress as I go along, but I'm in no rush to get it done.

Got one lonesome pic for everyone to see the beginning stage

 

Nice Dane. You are going to have your hands full with Discus and marines!

 

The busier you are, the more you can do
