Aquaria / 90 Gallon: May 2006 - Present

This is one is special !!! I went all out, purchased custom made rimless/starphire tank with round/edge finish, clear german silicone and thick glass. I finally decided to try HQI lighting and best choice for this tank was CoraLife fixture - 2 x 150HQI / 4 x 65Watt PC. I also decided to try ADA products: Amazonia, Powersand and Pollen Glass diffuser. I'm simply amazed how "proper" substrate can make a difference. I have never seen such rapid and healthy growth in aquatic plants. Amazonia / Powersand will be my choice of substrate for all my future tanks. This project is still in progress :)
