In the hobby since 1985.

Description

  • Category: Lake Malawi
  • Tank size: 0x0x0 inches = 0 gallons
  • Tank size: 0x0x0 cm = 0 liters

    The north wall is a work of art.There are 16 ten gallon tanks,four tanks wide four tanks tall.All of them are running strictly Under Gravel Filters fed thru a single Air system that runs the entire room.
    They are home to A breeding pair of masked julies(plus many jr julies),Jack dempsy,a Breed pair of Albino Convicts + many jr's as well,fire mouths,black belt cichlids,johannis,red zebras.
    The south wall are our larger tanks.
    we have Angels,jewl cichlids,plecos,Giant alge shrimp,Tire Track Eels,Abby lobster,Gouramis,catfish and room for more.

Decoration

  • Gravel: Natural pea gravel through out the room to ensure consistant water chem.
  • Plants: majority fake with some anachoris spread umungst the tanks.

    most of the tanks are set up as natural settings.We use any and all that we have on hand and that is donated we made great use of a huge pile of flag stone.

Technics

  • Light: multipal florecents through out the room.The wall-o-tanks uses four 4ft shop style flourecents mounted above and centered over all 4 tanks on each shelf. the larger tanks in the room each have thier own hood and light.
  • Light-Duration: Digital timer system set from 8:30am-10:30pm
  • Filtration: All the tanks in the fish room are running UGF's all linked to one main air system that is set at a high air output to promote high filtration currents we are also running sevral tanks with back mounted bio/carbon filters.


    Entire room is maintained 2 times a month and hand fed 3 times a day.
