264 gal. for big cichlids

[Parachromis_Dovii]

Hi everyone.

I want to share with you my new tank and how it was made.

These were the plates of wood on that they put in the base.

This is material that I put between the tank and the base in order that it muffling the whole weight.

Here the tank, it was temporarily in the soil because I sent the base to fix it (it had the oxide).

This one is the filter UV that will serve to avoid the proliferation of parasites and all kinds of things besides which the type of water that exists here has many phosphats what makes that it fills with green single-cell algae giving a dirty aspect though it is not.

This one is the Wett-Dry shaped for biospheres, sponge, sand, rocks and fluffs.

This is the place where the tank will stay finally.

East is the filto UV and then to the tank.

Here the tank is.

A few days later

And finally the happy ending
