February '05 - Mike Kueny's 680 Liter Cichlid Tank. (USA)
Long-time hobbyist Mike Kueny seems to have a regular breeding program going on in this tank. But my attention was really focused on the outside. So there's a bar counter, a TV, a stereo rack and an awesome cichlid tank on the wall. What else does one need to live a happy life? :-)
| Owner: | Mike Kueny, 39, from Johnston IA (USA), 20 years of fishkeeping. |
| Setup: | December 2003. |
| Volume: | 680 liters (nominal). |

| Comments: | I have enjoyed this tank simply because of the maintenance. This tank is maintained from the back, where my furnace room is located. I have a drain right below the tank and hot and cold water above. This makes it so easy, the only thing I regret is not having made a bigger tank! |
