    Well this is my latest build, finished it up over the weekend, haven't quite decided what to put in it but was more of a play on the concept... [​IMG]

    Nice :thumbup:
    Keep an eye on green spot algae on the anubias so close to the light, they’re a bit prone to it. Is it a Zetlight Aqua? Marine or planted tank light?

    So yes it is the zet 1201 marine, i need to put the right light in but I'm waiting for some cash flow again, for a month or so it'll do though, I want to use this light in a granite rock and floating wood setup like this (no plants) that I want to build for my latest addition, Samael, my juvenile male srd flowerhorn, but that'll be a 4ft and I'll need an additional light... Hence why I experimented on a much smaller scale first...

    I ran 4 x 1201L on my 4ft tank and Holy goodness the algea was a constant battle. I bought 4 x ZETLIGHT Space Bars, 2 x marine and 2 x fresh water and run them on an old zt6600 contoller with an A200 wifi. Also I have Scat in the tank and finally won the battle with algea.

    I have a Zetlight Aqua for planted tanks, very happy with it. Very different spectrum to the marine I see (well suppose it would be obvious :))

    Beautiful setup @Shondor

    Glad to see another Edenvaler here with a cichlid setup :). If you like, share you no over PM and we can keep in touch and chat. Always nice knowing all the aquariasts in the area.

    Looks stunning and even more impressive considering how tiny it is. That’s difficult to pull off. Nice one!

    Agree, beautiful little tank. Out of interest, what heater is that? I bought a 16W from Sam's for my 20l nano, and being a rimless tank, it isn't doing the job (though it looks neat enough). Meant to be a 25°C preset but ends up around 20°C on average.
