jervismun Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hi guys I am designing the cabinet and am looking at a few colours to play with... the light fixture is a ATI Powermodul in silver. The tank is braceless/topless. My surrounding is light wooden floor, walls are white, office furniture is light wood (Ikea birch laminate). Appreciate new colour combination also Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidjazz Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 How come important advise cannot share??? haha. . fine fine fine. . there are pros and cons using braceless tank considering tt my previous set up was an Aquatechnic tank. Here's the pros: 1) The tank looks very classy cuz its an open concept 2) very easy maintenance cuz its braceless 3) the tank looks bigger than it is basically the first point is the most outstanding. Cons: You don't want to know about it. .
