| Now that I have a
3000L/800G aquarium, it was time to leave for the 1000L/265G. It was
sold to a good friend (Patricia) that I know from our association ABCV.
I still keep good rememberance of this aquarium, so it would be stupid
to delete all content. I kept the best pictures of this aquarium and
it's inhabitants online. |

The 1000L in the living room |
| My old aquarium had a
normal glued-in three compartment filter. To ensure good conversion of
waste and detritus I had an oxydator in the first compartment that
brought 100% oxygen in the second bacterial section. The third
compartment contained the 2300L/h Eheim 1060 that pumped the water in
a trickle filter that was placed on top of the tank. Heating was
positioned in the first section and lightning was taken care of by
4x58W TL tubes + HF ballasts and 4 timers that mimic sunrise and set.
The energy saving HF (high frequency) lightning doesn’t flicker and
reduces the stress of the fish. |

Left part of the tank: notice the lack of technical equipment. Only
sand, rocks and cichlids can be observed! |
