Here we go again

[CW]

Hi there ppl.

Jaja i know i said i was done last time.
But then i got thinking. Maybe ill start this one slowly and see what the results will be.

So about more than a year ago i bought a skimmer, then some time after that the skimmer pump.
Then started with the stand and fitted it to its place.
Then bought a return pump and a np reactor.
And then some aragoninte and dried rock.

So then everything stood still for about 6months.
I finaly ordered my glass last week vriday.

So tank size will be:
1600mm (L) x 450mm (W) x 600mm (H)
Ive only ordered the 5panels for now.

Still deciding on black den braven or clear bostic silocone.

The tank will be on the wall (again) by the front door, so display should be about 1100mm and 500mm will be the filtration.
