It’s a UNS 45U, with an Oase 100 thermo and a Chihiros WRGB Slim. CO2, and aquasoil in a mound under the rocks. There’s an open area behind and under the stacked rock, making a nice little hide.

So far I am liking the poppy pipe style, it’s my first time using it. And slowly I’m getting diatoms and snails, usual early tank stuff.

Lemme know your thoughts :)

Yeah I am glad I went canister instead of HOB. It’s an Oase Thermo 100. The pipes I got are a poppy pipe for outflow, though if you don’t want a waterfall I would go Spin Pipe instead maybe. The intake has a skimmer on top, which is key for preventing surface buildup.
