My wife and I have kept tropical fish, but we wanted to do something different. We have therefore decided to reconstruct the fireplace - a cases without typical modern real quality or style - by 7 feet long by 4 feet deep paradise for fish ... and finally, in a sanctuary of African cichlids ...

Having obtained real smart mathematician to work that the weight of the water tank was actually tolerable in our house (! - Never believe How many people do not see that, especially in apartments), we set about planning the aquarium with joy ...

The reservoir stood in blocks of ornamental stones that a local builder fixed in place. We needed to speak with a specialist provider in the reservoir tank we were building was a bit unusual - and, finally, a few weeks later, check the tank.

The first trip to the store

My excitement was extreme as we head to the local bank to obtain fragments that would be needed to begin:

• Gravel
• filter and aerator
• Illumination
• Solar --
• Cleaner (gravel VAC).

When I returned I removed the tank and checked to ensure no leakage, then began to put gravel (after washing gravel to ensure that the powder was removed). At that time, no particular need, since the water is disturbed at the first gravel added. He said one third of a tank of water and began to shape the land to the way I wanted. At this stage, I added a few water-purifiers and chlorine in the tank.

Ok then placed in the filter and aerator, and also added the element heating. All this was kept off until it ended in the tank. The remaining water is then added - and I have a tray plastic floating on the surface to ensure there was not much movement of water, which means that my country remains as I carved the wanted.

Next all the equipment was turned on and left for two days.

Who was back in the shop for two things:
• Many plants and:
• diffusion of CO2 to help plant growth

The next day, plants growing in well-ordered and my tank hot down the shop again to get my first fish.

The first fish.

Plati I love the color range is fantastic - But all carriers are living a good place to start. Mollies, swordtail, guppy or Plati are ideal for your water to zero. This bike is generally called and it is really the growth of good bacteria in the tank - which in turn by waste from the rupture. So just add a little fish the first or waste will kill the fish before the bacteria goes to work.

Five platia later and they are floating in their plastic bag on the tank surface. It was just to equalize the temperature of the water, then after a few minutes, I leave a little water tank in the bag a few occasions. Finally five appearances and their way into the tank again.

Technically, the fish waste is ammonia and must be decomposed by bacteria to nitrite, then nitrate, is what helps plants grow. This cycle must be developed in the tank if you keep fish in good healthy and happy and it usually takes about 8 weeks to resolve. Even then, my advice would be to add fish slowly til all are established.

With time and patience.

My wife and I finally decided that the cichlids Tanganyika cichlids and Malawi have been our hobby real (with some Kribs dwarf lying) and we managed to raise a few different types, including Caeruleus Labidochromis or more commonly, cichlids Canary Neolamprologus leleupi good or yellow Tanganyika. At a time when our tank is a big Splash yellow joy.

The night, now it just changes television, stick to see the aquarium - and soothe our worries ....
