New rivertank
I just set up a new tank at home. It was initially designed for a customer who never came to pick it up, so I decided I might as well take it home ;) It's got cool, special measurements: 180x35x25 cm. It's lighted by three GU10 LED bulbs. It's home for a group of Peckoltia compta, some Leptodoras from Peru, and a couple of Characins (Inpaichthys sp."Belem" and Nannostomus beckfordi).

Re: New rivertank
Now, why would someone not pick up this unique tank? .. Their loss, your gain! Nice set up!

Re: New rivertank
I've never seen white backdrops mounted behind lights like that before but it makes a lot of sense, and the entire set up looks awesome! If I could make a 'dream tank' this is pretty much what it would look like!

Re: New rivertank
Thanks for the nice comments everybody! Actually, those white things are wooden plates. I got hold of some nice spotlights which are supposed to be attached by a clip, and I had nowhere to attach them. So I messed around in one of my storage rooms and found these white wooden plates that were actually made as top-plates for an aquarium rack that I'm not using atm. I placed them behind the tank, which fittet neatly and also hide the lamp wires
