I got a new tank, 81cm x 61cm x 46cm lxhxd
perfect size for where i want it

ordered new heat sinks for my leds to suit the rimless tank

Equipment:
Lighting: DIY LED 13NW 13RB, meanwell ldd 1000h drivers, typhoon controller
Flow: Jeboa wp25, koralia 1
Return: oceanflow3000

Sump:
algae scrubber with 2x 20w led growlights
TMC v2 auto top off
extra live rock

Pictures to follow :mrgreen:
