D.G Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi all.. Will be moving to a new place and so will be restarting my tank. As I am intending to move my life stock over to my new place, I will have to continue to run my existing 6 feet tank till my new tank is stable enough to move them. New tank will be 7.5ft x 2ft x 2.5ft. 3 view partition tank. Tank and cabinet is up already, willl post some pictures of the build. Comments are welcomed, Thanks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.G Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 The tank is placed right in front of the dry kitchen. Always wanted a 3 view partition tank and this is the only place that allows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.G Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Top cabinet was required to be mounted on the concrete ceiling above the false ceiling in order to hold up the weight of the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo77 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hope you factor maintenance access space, especially the side facing the kitchen. The design also factored Yr lightset mounting?

SRC Member JiaEn Posted October 23, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted October 23, 2019 Do take into account for the heat generated by light set in the enclosed hood. Maybe u want to build in some ventilation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Clement Chen Posted October 23, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted October 23, 2019 I did without ventilation like yours initially. The water will condense on the top of the cupboard. I had to send my cupboard doors back to the carpenter to cut some ventilation Quote Clem's Clam Corner (Decommed) 60cm x 40cm x 30cm Tank Nano tank reboot v2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup will be using back my Hydra 52s & Hydra 52HDs.. no worries with light set mounting.. Top shelving will be where the adaptors and wires will run.

I had to send my cupboard doors back to the carpenter to cut some ventilation Yeah I thought long and hard about the ventilation issues.. I had the same worry when i was starting my 6 footer which also has the same enclosed design from 3-4 yrs back. Thought about installing ventilation fans and cutting slits for ventilation but I've never had any problem with overheating lights and condensation though. Maybe its because I keep opening and closing the top hood panels to feed and maintain from the top?? For this new tank the top can be opened from both sides so 4 hood panels can be opened up and I've designed the hinges to protrude out a bit so in a way there would be a long slit on the very top for ventilation.

D.G Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Aquaroche Rocks Overkill.. Bought too much.. overestimated the size of my tank and underestimated the size of these rocks!!! Will have to let go of around 1/2 of these rocks. All are so beautiful and natural looking don't know which to keep in my tank.. Will let go at my cost price. Feel free to PM me if you're interested.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sounds good. I suspect I had the problem of light overheating because the hood compartment is small and quite well sealed. If have enough volume in the hood like you., probably will be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see.. yeah in that case that's probably why the lights overheated. The volume of the top compartment definitely plays a big part to the accumulation of heat in the area. I was really trying to avoid cutting ventilation slits on the cabinet doors as I do not like to see the lights coming through the slits. Hopefully the makeshift slit on the top does its job and with frequent maintenance of the tank daily, the build up heat if any should dissipate without any issues.

D.G Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Piping works are done up too.. Time to select the rocks for my rockscape. Tentatively rocks and sand going in today and tmr.. Water in on Sat.. Then the cycling shall begin.. Will be a full Zeovit system, same as my previous tank.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
