Description:
I am soon to be moving to a smaller property and unfortunately just won't have room for this, it will be really missed. I have spent so much money and time getting this setup just how I want it. It is very impressive, I advise anyone to come and look at this, you won't be disappointed.
The tank was custom made in 10mm (I will double check tomorrow, when I go back to the house) glass, in a bay view window shape, which looks stunning.
Has a matching beech/pine effect stand and lid, well made by a professional carpenter.
Dimensions:
(total including stand and lid)
40"Lx24"Dx56.5"H
(fish tank)
36.5"Lx21"Dx28"H
The fish tank has a few tiny scratches on the inside of the glass, but once filled with water are barely noticeable unless you really look, and once filled with fish and plants you would never know.
The tank is filtered by a powerful external Ehiem wet/dry canister filter which works perfectly, and sits underneath the tank in the cupboard.
I also have 2 powerheads in the tank for circulation, which the cichlids seem to love.
I have a 300W heater in the tank.
Lighting comes in the form of 2 30" 25w T8 bulbs, one needs replacing at the moment.
I wanted to make this setup look very realistic, I have used coral sand as a substrate, And approx £80 of lava rock, I have built this up the full length of the tank along the back and has to be one of the best features of this tank, all the fish have their own caves and tunnels. I have a Rena Air 300 pump attached to a bubble curtain below the rocks at the back so bubbles rise from amongst the rocks.
To add a bit of colour there are 2 pieces of driftwood in the tank with java fern attached.
The tank currently has Malawi Cichlids in there, these can be included, or can sell separately.
2 Male Cyno Afra White tops
At least 10 baby Cyno Afra White Tops (unfortunate the mother passed away a few months ago, but some of the babies are females, at about 1.5" at the moment)
3 Yellow Labs
2 Rusty Cichlids
1 Red Empress
1 Male Aulonocara (forgotten the rest but it is yellow and blue)
2 Syno Catfish
1 Tanganyikan Eel (Gets on fine with the cichlids, eats flake food and frozen krill, cockle ect..)
1 Unknown yellow with black zebra stripes
1 unknown, started off yellow and black, now almost all black with white stripe (maybe Tanganyikan)
2 Unknown dark blue
Maybe a couple more I have forgotten
I have at least £130 of fish alone here.
£300
Collection only obviously due to size and weight,
We just managed to fit this all into a Vauxhall Zafira to give you an idea of car size you will need. Don't mind if it takes 2 trips.
This really does weigh a ton and needs at least 2 strong men to carry the tank.
sorry about poor picture quality was taken on my phone, contact me for better pics.
