Self-sustained aqua life in a 1000 Liter (250 G) tank
Hi. I am a novice in this field. I have recently built a 1,000 Liter
tank (approx-250 G, dimension 7Ft * 3Ft, 2Ft deep) in my garden (Ahmedabad, India). It is built with bricks/mortar and covered in/out by glaze tiles/glass mosaic. Yearly temparature varies between 5 to 45 degree centigrades. Annual rainfall (June-Sept) 25 inches. Tank is open to sky. I need some help. Common/scientific names ***AND*** pictures of aqua life (including plants) that can be SELF-sustained with minimal intervention. Pictures are important, because there seems tobe lot of confusion regarding names. ALSO, the rider "SELF-sustained" is important, because the tank may have tobe left unttended for few days whenever we are not at home. It all began 2 months ago, when I put an old bath tub in the garden with some grass and 50 guppy fishes. After one month I put a turtle in it. I have NEVER fed anything to fishes or turtle. NOW, there is a lot of algae in it. Since past 5 days, I have (in the new tank) some water grass, some algae, one fresh water turtle (2kg weight) and hundreds of guppy fishes (1-2 inch long fish supplied by our malaria department to prevent growth of mosquitos). The reason for this posting is that, most of information on net is regarding indoor aquaria of much smaller sizes. Advise regarding design/layout of aqua life in new tank is also welcome. Thanking in anticipation. - Shankar |

Does that count even if we built a 280g pond in the bedroom of a
single-wide trailer? (And yes, we did do it. It houses a 4' redtail catfish.) Sue wrote: I suggest you try a pond newsgroup ;o) "Shankar Patel" wrote in message om... Hi. I am a novice in this field.

Of course it does - I helped my brother build a glass fronted semi-raised
tank in his conservatory last year - its 11 foot long by over 4' wide & deep so over 1000 gallons. Pond filters work out cheaper than tank supplies ;oP "Polarhound" wrote in message ...
