after watching journals for about 2 years, I've moved to a bigger house which allowed me to have a bigger tank.
it's massive at 200x70x70cm which translates to 78''x27''x27"
it has a sump which is 140x50x40 (55"x20''x16")
so that puts the total system at about 1200L (317GAL)
hardware:
-the lighting is a copy of this build
-since the tank is quite huge, I'm going to build 1 or 2 cerges style reactors to dissolve the CO2.
-I will run 2 DCS7000 pumps (both at 50-70% of their power) for redundancy and to be able to adjust flow and current in the tank and the reactors.
and to control it all I'm going to use the Robo-tank which is a spin-off from the Iaqua
Livestock:
8-10 Pterophyllum scalare sp Rio Nanay-Eimekei (has been adjusted to 11 manucapuru redbacks)
8-10 geophagus winemilleri (already have 4 and plan on sticking with the 4 of them)
all the others are still unknown
plants: (for now)
echinodorus bleheri
echinodorus martii
echinodorus rubin
sagittaria teres
alternanthera rosaefolia
hardscape will consist of spiderwood and sand as substrate
that is about it for now, the tank is currently full of water to check for leaks and I'm waiting for my next pay-check so I can order the rest of all the parts and complete the build.
