 | Tank: Akvastabil Effect-Line 530L. Dimensions are 1600mm (L) X 550mm (W) X 600mm (D) Once I account for the 12mm thick glass, the fact that I don't fill the tank to the top, the 40kg of crushed coral sand and approx 60kg of rock and a foam 3D background, I estimate the true tank volume to be in between 390-410 Litres. Filtration is via 2 Canister Filters. 1.) Fluval FX5 Canister. Three trays are full of SeaChem Matrix & there is 250ml of SeaChem Purigen below the Matrix in the bottom basket. I have custom cut 1 Inch thick Poret 30ppi Foam in the FX5 2.) Eheim Classic 2217 Canister with 4L of SeaChem Matrix and the coarse and fine pads.

I areate and pre-treat the water in a drum in my garage using a DIY Cichlid Buffer consisting of Bi-Carbonate Soda, Epsom Salts and Reef Aquarium Salt. I used to use expensive water conditioners and chemicals from SeaChem but found the DIY recipie much more effective and a hell of a lot cheaper.
