MICK’S TANK SPECS

● Tank size: 10x2.5x2.5ft, roughly 2000-litre capacity with filters

● Filtration: Three Fluval FX6 filters

● Heating: Four Fluval e300 heaters

● Substrate: TM Aquatix black sand

● Additional air: Three pond airstones

● Illumination: Three sets of Fluval Plant LED lights

● Testing: If I’m honest, I don’t test my water. I just stick with a firm routine and never have any problems. You must stick to a good maintenance routine and you will be fine.

● Notes: For me my big tank is a bit overstocked but I keep my water pristine and clean my filters regularly. Plus, I am also getting another big tank built in my fish room to move one of the Asian Arowana into. The biggest mistake I made on my big tank was not getting a sump. Sumps are a great way to filter the tank — they hide heaters and you can fit so much biological filtration in them. In the next tank I set up, I will definitely include one!
