Lucky us, we have the possibility to build an house.. and then also to plan 2 big tanks in it!
Size: 180cm long * 120cm large * 60cm high
Volume: 1300L
Support aluminum profiles.
Covering wood MDF panels.
Inspiration for such dimension: Tokyo Sumida aquarium, first area dedicated to aquascape or natural scape aquariums with some masterpieces by Takashi Amano! One the "smallest" aquariums here are exactly these dimensions, and the ratio looks great. One important difference though: my tanks are planned to be closed with a canopy cabinetry.
Not surprising.. the same:
Amazonian tank, starting with Discus
African lake Tanganyika with Tropheus
… but who knows what that could be in the future, especially with such volumes!
Mojo: simplification, robustness and efficiency.
No sump this time, instead closed loop for the main filtration stream:
Air-Aqua SuperBead small black (shop 1250€)
100% of particles > 50 microns, 48% of particles 5-10 microns
Air-Aqua SuperBead Automatic hopefully compatible with smart home home assistant.. (shop 850€.. but alternatives 350€)
Backwash every 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, or 120 hours (with the default control system)
Blue Lagon Xpert AOP (Advanced Oxydation Process) Compact Ozone & UV-C (shop 630€)
Triple disinfection: ozone, hydroxyl radicals, and UV-C
AstralPool heat exchanger water-to-water Waterheat EVO 20kW (shop 600€) or D-KWT-Ti Plastic / Titanium 25 kW (350€)
No cooling system planed.. but that could be an idea.
Orphek OR4 iCon LED strip 150cm (270€)
1. Disolved ozone iradiated by UV-C
2. OH radicals created, short lifetime
3. Treated water does contain neither ozone (O3) nor hydroxyl radicals (•HO)
