Thank you for that honour!Epic tank 🙂 featured on FB Gallery again 😉
I have 400 litter aquarium with external filter.I make sure plants are thriving and oxygen is always high. This in combination with sump loaded with filter medium gives me clean water and algae very little change.
On the glass is very little light, so this needs to be cleaned very little. When algae start growing, it's usually on the rocks and the sand gets a little green. That are the moments I give the tank a little extra care (checking fertilizers, a larger water change, cleaning the filter socks extra, extra sand vacuüm etc.).
I didn't get (my english is not so good)....your UV is always connected?UV kills only free floating bacteria. Most good bacteria are attached to filter media and the substrate. So the benefits would definitely outweigh the bad IMO. I don't use one though...
About the media, I use some purigen, but nothing special to reduce algae. Just as much bio rio as I could fit in there to break down organics.
Thank you! The tank is 195x80x80 (65cm water) 12 mm glass.This aquarium is impressive. I thought I saw the exact dimensions of the tank but I can't find it. Can you repost it?
Also what thickness is the glass?
I'm planning a tank for a new house too and your tank is just another reminder: bigger is better. 🙂
It's not an open tank, so it has glass strips over the entire length and from front to back. So I don't expect any problems😉Okay thanks. That's pretty thin glass for a tank that large! ☺
