Description of the aquarium:
Category:
Tank size:
100x40x40cm = 160 liters ~ 42 gallons (us)
Specific features:
This used to be our freshwater pools. After 8 years, we have made it a seawater pool.
It has left behind a homemade Technikeck where the skimmer, the heating element, automatic Wasserauffüllanlage and a small return pump are housed.
For Technikeck I have a plexiglass window, using a heat gun, bent into shape. Drilled a hole for the return pump and glued the overflow comb. The whole thing then bonded with silicone in the aquarium.
