Pictures coming soon.

Size: 265 gallons
Dimensions: 84"x24"x30" or 7'x2'x2-1/2'
Lighting: currently using LED strips with T5-HO. Working on building an all LED fixture powerfull enough to grow any plant I want. Even short carpeting plants along the substrate.
Filtration: Fluval FX5, working on a fluidized sand filter.
Substrate: Safe T Sorb. Great for plants and looks very natural.
Plants: coming soon
Livestock: coming soon
Fertilization: CO2 tank system, Excel by Flourish, and more to come.

The tank is drilled with overflows on both back corners. Haven't plumbed anything to them yet. Water, plants, and fish are in the tank but the tank is only half way filled for now. Still need to make a screen lid to prevent jumpers and carpet surfers from getting out. The plan is to allow plants to grow out of the water and make it I to an emergent tank. The lighting will be suspended high enough to no burn the emerging plants but still strong enough to penetrate deep into the water. Going to have a variety of community fish and focus more on schooling fish. Currently the tank is a dense jungle and I need to trim back the plants before taking any good pictures of it. But I will have pictures up soon.
