The first thing was to place the
tank
somewhere in my computer room. |
 |
|
|
 |
Then I had to wash 35 kg. of gravel
around 0.8 mm - 1.2 mm in diameter
This is absolutly the most borring part when
setting up a new tank |
|
|
To clean the gravel I put 5 kg.
into a bucket. Add some water and keep turning it around a few minutes. |
 |
|
|
 |
If the water looks like this,
you need to wash it again |
|
|
A had to make a
modification to the lightcase I got with the tank. It was made for normal
bulbs, Not for Flourescent Bulbs, which i wanted to use |
 |
|
|
 |
And the other end of the light
case |
|
|
The coils for each
flourescent tube, i placed on top of the case, to prevent over heating and
because there was no room for them :-) |
 |
|
|
 |
To be sure that you believe me,
here is a picture
of the tank with light on |
