German fishtank in denmark

[Henrikorg1]

Hi all thought i wanted to chip in with a couple pics off my german build aquarium here from denmark,the aquarium have been build by german diamant aquarium wich was a lot cheaper than any danish aquarium builders and the 10 year warranty instead off the danish 2-3 year warranty also helped.
Its arround 850 gallons or 3150 liter 3 meters long 1,4 meter deep and 0,75 meter tall all glass aquarium,i live in an old house from 1936 so i needet to cut up all the floor to reinforce it due to the weight off the tank,all the work ecxept for the aquarium itself i done by myself.
Right now im running a fluval fx5 in one end and a small 250 liter (65-70 gallon) akvastabil tank as a temporary sump in the other end with a 5000 l/h (1250 gallon p/h) pump supported by a jebao 2000 l/h 550gallon/h and a couple off seio prop 1500 g/h or 6000 l/t powerheads,qurrently im working on a 1300 Liter or in loose numbers 350 gallon sump in the basement to replace the little temporary one,i will also have central heating in the new sump instead off eletric heating due to the high eletric costs here in denmark.
Well enough with the chit chat pictures says more than a thousend words so here goes


Right now i have
L95
L114
L190
Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum
Oscar cichlids
cichla sp temmensis
clown loaches
chinese softshell turtle pelodiscus sinensis
The stingray in the picture past away due to heavy water changes in the beginnig becourse off all the couloration from the big tree logs in the tank,when the new filter is up and running i will get some new ones but i dont know yet what species ?
Please chip in with tips and ideas to improve my setup.
Pictures off the new sump will follow soon.

Hello and welcome to MFK,
Well what can I say, apart from that this is absplutely crazy! The amount of effort you put into the tank is insane, and the final result speaks for itself! :thumbup:
Beautiful tank, thanks for sharing :beer:
Btw, your "small" sump is 10 liters bigger than my tank
