My Aquarium Tank has been set up



At last, my new aquarium has been set up! Well, it was up since mid 2011 but I am putting up this post to share how I designed and built the tank and sump, and how it is doing now.

It took me a while to settle down after moving to the new apartment. I have always wanted to get a bigger tank with proper cabinet. Most importantly, it has to please my wife's eyes and fit well with the home furnishings.

What is Aquaponics?

My interest in Aquaponics started when I was surfing the Internet to search for information on how to maintain a healthy planted aquarium. It was then that I learnt about the nutritional needs of plants and, interestingly, how an aquarium of "fishes with plants" requires less water change than a "fish only" aquarium.

My planted aquarium -
a simple setup without using CO2 tank;
3x1.5x1.5(feet) tank;
Tetras and water plants.
