GEX Slim 300 Updates and NEW GEX Slim 600

As you would recall, i recently setup a GEX nano tank on my table to provide some live decoration while i eat ( http://sungod666.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-gex-nano-aquarium-for-dining-table.html). Well the more i looked at it the more i feel it could be improved on. So i decided to move the current one into study and setup a more fancy one on the dining table. As for the current GEX, i added some catfish and most interestingly the dwarf  orange crayfish. It is a crayfish except it will not grow big but remain at 2-3cm. Now onto the new GEX

Firstly i decided to go for the GEX Slim 600 with 2 powerful GEX turbo fans, i bought the largest model. For this time, i will spend some work on getting the electrical cables neat and tidy. The solution is the belkin concealable 8 way gang and Blue lounge Cablebox.



Lighting have to improved as well, Arcadia LED submersible is the way to go. It is branded, powerful and submersible, having a basic 2 ft overhead lamp is just plain ugly and bulky on the dining table. to add to the WOW factor, i decided to make the 2 arcadia led to be remote controllable. The habitat concept remain the same as the previous one, an un-themed planted scape. inhabitant have yet to be decided but i think shrimp is off the list. As for filter, i am opting for a canister filter this time. Undecided on the brand so far. Shortlisted include GEX, Tetra, Fluval, Eheim and Sera. Budget is set at $300 including media
