This 250 liter / 66 gal tank, is sort of my main tank

Due to some bad advise from a pet shop I choose to rebuilt it in spring 1998

This is how the tank look before it was rebuilt Take a look Here you can see the old diary
If you wanna see how i rebuilt it, Take a look

I use the following equipment for this tank

• 250 liter/ 66 gal glass tank made by Akvastabil
• a light case containing 2 * 30 watts of fluorescent light, 1 Triton and 1 Lumilux
• Eheim 2226 Professional external filter, filled with ceramic tubes, and Siporax
• 300 watt heater, don't know the company name (to lazy to look for it)
• 6 Kg CO2 bottle, with needle valve and everything else, CO2 is injected into Eheim filter
• Dupla longtime CO2 tester
• 50 Kg of light brown/gray gravel 1.0mm - 2.0mm in size
• 1 Package of Duplarit (enough for 200 liter) mixed together with the bottom 1/3 of gravel
• On a weekly basis I add Tropica Master Grow Fertilizer
• Around the 15-Jun-98 I bought a Sera test set, so I can check the water if there is any problems

Around the 1. of May 1998 this tank was rebuilt, follow this link to see how I did it.
