My clearwater river tank

Post by wobbler »

My 240 liter tank.
This tank has been up and running for 8 months now. Home for five L202, 6 L066 and some tetras.

Only materials from my local river have been used for the setup.I have no plant, stones and gravel only. Temperature is about 28 deg C and it is relatively strong current in the tank. 4000 l /hour.

Indeed, his scapes and breeding success were inspirational.

Thank you!

Yes, quite heavy, something about 50-60 kg. However the weight is distributed throughout the bottom area in order to secure even strain on the bottom glass.
