We have a custom built 100l tank, that currently sits inside a 1950's (very retro) Phillips television. We have had the TV strengthened as it sits on four legs.
The tank hasn't been used yet as we have spent several months researching etc . Currently we have the following for the tank:
Eheim 200w heater
Glow T5HO 2x24w light
It would be really helpful if we could get some advice on the following:
1. We are playing around with the idea of getting the Eheim 2010 filter, as explained we have a 100l tank, will this be sufficient?
2. There is very little clearance between the top of the tank and the cabinet (about 10mm gap) and we have had a section cut-out of the top TV and hinged into place to make hatch for feeding etc. As it stands there isn't enough room to fit the light to the actual cabinet, it will have to sit within the tank, attached to the roof of tank (the tank itself isn't sealed, the roof has four glass panels - 2 sealed on with 3" holes, and 2 removable glass lids that complete the enclosed tank). In which case, could we get your advice on whether this is doable, eg. would the light become heavily condensated and would moving it to say, the sides or the back of the tank (externally) have a huge effect on the expel of the light within the tank?
We appreciate your help, thanks heaps
