Built-in 1996 with some adjustments along the way.
Originally built as a breeding set-up for African Cichlids. In 2005 I again decided to breed Guppies with a small number of changes to the filtration. The set-up now consists of 108 various size tanks. The filtration system is a combination of a sponge and a German Maximal filter. I use two filters in each tank only cleaning one alternatively. In larger tanks, I have installed both Hamburger filter pads and the German Maximal filters.
The air supply is derived from two Hi-Blow 200
I have installed a flow-through water change system on 20 larger tanks. The room is space heated with two temperature-controlled electric wall heaters. The tanks are completely bare with no area for uneaten food or detritus to hide.
Water changes are completed daily replacement water which is conditioned in 3 x 50-gallon storage tanks and heated to the same room temperature of 78F. Mains water is pre-filtered through one particle and two carbon chamber filters. Water is then held in storage for 24 hours, aerated and filtered through a Fluvel 304 canister filter.
