Another hipped roof city villa (240 sqm)

Yes, you can see it quite clearly on your site plan as well. However, you said it rises again in the neighbor’s garden. Then the house would be perfectly situated in the flood channel?

Absolutely! It is incomprehensible to me why he put his house there? I also wonder how he manages not to have a flooded basement every time there is heavy rain??? (That should be asked...)

Tell me a bit about the aquarium. How big is it going to be? Freshwater or saltwater? Maybe a galactic panoramic front? Which animals will go in? Backdrop already planned? Equipment? Stand?

Right, you had already asked about the aquarium... Sorry that I didn't reply... There were just too many questions and comments.

Planned is a discus tank with about 1500L-2000L, so roughly with the dimensions 280x80x80.
Panorama? No, I like it classic rectangular.
Background? Nothing special. It will be black with plenty of roots and Vallisnerias in front.
Equipment? As you surely know, discus need pretty clean and soft water. That's why a 400-500L filter tank is also planned. Since we have pretty hard water here (hardness about 20), there will be some gadgets like a reverse osmosis system or deionizer added. So that not everything has to be squeezed under the aquarium, I want a technical room behind or below it in the basement.
Stand? I'm still not sure what is better: metal frame or masonry...

Currently I have a 400L freshwater tank. Nothing special.
And you? What do you have planned for your 2m tank?

Unfortunately, we also have such damn hard water. I do have a reverse osmosis system, but I simply can't manage it time-wise (self-employed and constantly busy). So at the moment, I'm sticking to bass, especially the Princess. I don't think I'll switch to soft water. Although... sometimes I get the urge and dream of redhead tetras, red neon tetras, or even better, Congo tetras.

280m x 80 x 80 is quite a size. How tall are you? Quickly cleaning the corner downstairs then slowly becomes criminal.

So I would definitely aim for an extra tech room at that size. But I wouldn't plan it in the basement. The pumps going through the ceiling would then have to be handled by special forces again. That usually turns out to be rubbish. I would actually plan it so that it's a separate room with a front into the living room. My program can only suggest that:



That's pretty cool. PS: What does your wife actually say about it?

Do you know the website einrichtungsbeispiele de? There is exactly such an aquarium with a technical room behind it... I would have to look it up again... Yes, it's really cool

An idea I also find very cool: If the AQ is located in the kitchen/dining area, to clad it with the same fronts as the kitchen by the kitchen manufacturer.

Do you know the website einrichtungsbeispiele de?

Yes, I've already heard of it.

An idea I also find very cool: If the AQ is located in the kitchen/dining area, to cover it with the same fronts as the kitchen by the kitchen builder.

I haven't seen anything like that yet. Especially not at 2.80m.
