Non-mbuna Malawi Tank - The Water Way


  
   

  

A diagram showing the wiring of the 1300 liter tank. 

[1] Detail of the connection of the water hose [1] on the bottom of the tank. The hole was drilled on the glass before tank assembly. The valve was added while building it, in the third compartment of the filter [2]. This hose will empty the tank in less than 30 minutes.

[3] The 3500 l/h water pump, housed in the fourth and last filter compartment. Again, a hole was drilled on the glass separating the filter from the main tank before tank assembly.

[4] The 2500 l/h water pump. The outlet of the pump is glued on the side glass and the water is forced to travel in parallel to the water surface.

[5] One more 3500 l/h water pump which only works in summer for extra agitation on the water surface and a better gas exchange.

[6], [7] Self-cut sponges are used as pre-filters for the intakes of the two water pumps.

Many thanks are owed to Takis Tsamis for the preparation of the drawing.
