    Haha. Why so many people want to see. I should do up the room nice nice and make forumers pay an entrance fee to support the hobby.

    At least I'm glad that there are so many planted tank hobbyist in Woodlands. Hopefully I will be able to complete this project by Christmas and invite you people over for a small gathering.

    First, must support me by helping me clear my plants in my office at another thread at the marketplace. Cheers!

    Pictures!

    Ok guys, just a couple of quick shots. There's really nothing much set up yet and nothing is in proper place yet.

    Tanks are 3x2x1. I'm only using the Eden 501 to filter all my tanks as I'm not keeping any fishes in these tanks. However, I have many spare 2026 and 2028 lying around so I should be utilizing those as well.
    I'm planning another set of 3 tanks once these are done.

    Currently, have a 10l or 15l (can't remember) and a 5l CO2 cylinder but should be changing all to 10l or 15l later. Anyone have any such sets to offer can let me know.

    Suggestions welcome.

    Because each tank is only 1ft in height. So it's easier to customize it this way and still reach the top easily. 3ft is my favourite size and you can easily run almost any filter and get away with it.

    It's actually more of a plant room than a fish room. There will be absolutely no fish in these tanks. I will be keeping shrimps though.

    Wah! Upgrade already! I now have 5 green leaves under my name!

    It's just a matter of preference. I started with plants and increased my interest in them over the years but no fish ever attracted me as much as the plants do.
    However I don't mind keeping shrimps as their bioload is very low even in large amounts.

    My computer desk and documents are on the other side of the room, behind a tall partition that seperates the tanks. So it's also my mini home office. Quite sad, after work from office, more work to bring home.

    It doesn't matter what my status here is. I'm still a regular hobbyist on AQ who have met and made many hobbyists friends here. If you guys wish to think of me as a merchant, it doesn't matter to me.

    Just enjoy the hobby. Cheers!

    Can PM me how much it cost to get a 3 x 2 x 1 ft tank. Really like them and very suitable for plants. Oh dear, I might upgrade all my planted tanks (standard 2 ft ones). Can imagine my wife's face.

    BTW, did you customise the stands for this? Any price to give me a reference? Since only 1 ft height, I might want a 2-3 tier tank but higher for the bottom tank (maybe 45-60/75 cm from floor) so viewing them is easier and top tier can put equipment (if 3 tier). What is your height allowance for each tank (include your 1 ft tank height)?? Sorry for so many questions but after seeing your tanks, I very tempted to do one but need to know the budget.

    I also agree 3 ft tanks is the best size for planted tanks. Not too small or large.

    Nice fishroom there... I can't wait to see your completed one so that I can copy some of your ideas. My room walls are in dark colour to bring out the contrast. With the amount of lighting for all the 9 tanks (24X54W), I never turn on light for that room at night.


    Share with you my setup. The pic was taken in June. All the tanks were fully planted before I left Singapore to work in July.

    the walls color certainly bring out the contrast. all things seem well-kept and neat.
    is it in a air-conditioned room?
    hope to see more pictures of your tanks in time to come!
