Willem V.'s aquarium


Information about this aquarium:   LxWxH: 160x60x60, gross 570 litres
                                                      Every week I refresh 30% of the water.

                                                      On the bottom is fine grit, 1-2 mm, build up with about 50 kg of stones upon
                                                      a cheap, black tempex backwall. (I didn't use white tempex because the fish dig
                                                      in the grit and when they reach the tempex white would attract too much attention).

                                                      I'm using 2 "Eheim proffesional" outside filters, each with a capacity of
                                                      1050 ltr/hour which I clean every two months (one at a time).

                                                      300W Jaeger heater

                                                      V-tech AP-50 airpump

                                                      The lighting is from 2 x TL Silvania aquastar 36 W.



The backwall is a "3D rock" from Akwaline, which is glued together with the sidewalls and on the bottom.
The inhabitants: 3 x Aulonocara multicolor (1 male/1 fe.)

                           2 x Aulonocara sp."stuartgranti maleri" (1 male/1 fe.)

                           2 x Cynotilapia afra "Jalo Reef" (1 male/1 fe.)

                           4 x Labidochromis caeruleus (1 male/3 fe.)

                           3 x Labidochromis sp."hongi" (1 male/2 fe.)

                           3 x Metriaclima callainos (1 male/2 fe).

                           3 x Metriaclima sp."daktari" (1 male/2 fe.)
