Been 7 years since I’ve set up an aquarium. I had to leave my last aquarium at Hyderabad. Below shown is my old aquarium setup from 2013. A lot of things have changed and have been made easy nowadays to build a good scape but still a lot of scope for innovation. 2013 tank After many weeks, I’ve my new aquarium. The new tank is getting ready & will update this post once fully setup. I thought of capturing these for future references & also might be a great way to learn. Some of these are basics but still, I kind of forgot due to the time.  The mindset of the setup is that what you’re setting up is really fragile. A small mistake (not just because of you but due to external factors) result in losing a decent amount of money. So always start with a small one, I eventually settled on 60x45x45cms with 10mm thickness which I regret now. I feel 30x30x30cm is a great start! New tank after 2-months: Invest in basics.  Always go for clear or extra clear glass, the aquasca
