Tanganyika Tank - African Cichlid Tank Setup | Fluval Siena 270

- (Werbung) I did it! I've wanted to build an African Cichlid tank setup since years, but i never had the space and the tank to build it. I teamed up with Fluval Aquatics and scaped a Fluval Siena 270 African Tanganyika Cichlid aquarium. These fish have the most beautiful colors on earth and the complete setup is with no CO2 and a really low maintenance tank!

This is beauitfiul and so inspirational for me. I have been planning a Lake Tanganyika aquarium as well, and this is very much how I envisioned it to look. The grey tones are so great and really contrast the fish beautifully. I hope I can make mine half as nice as this. Can't wait to see your updates. Take care.
Thank you Phil, feels good to know that it inspired you! It is a really easy scape and i think you will be able to scape it! I also like the grey tones, everybody says it looks like the moon. I wish you the best with the scape. Feel free to inform me when you realized it! Cheers Ben
Love how the simple elements come together. The evening light is a nice touch.
Skvelá inšpirácia,jednoduché,dokonalé
I always admire the way You edit Your clips. They are like: perfectly shaped sculpture by an artist! There is nothing to ad :) Ofcourse the tank is also amazing!
Thank you really much! Then the night shifts I spent editing the videos were worth it - because of those comments 😀
This is super fantastic.. very inspiring
Bro I can't tell you how calming & satisfying it was✨🫂
Thank you mate!
This is one of the best looking african tank I have seen. Stunning design.
Thank you ZeeZee 🙌🏽
Very enjoyable to watch 🐠
Top Tier, love the final product!
Hey Ben, thank you for the detailed review. This is exactly what I’m looking for in a tanganyikan fish tank.
Nice to hear that!

Thank you
@@PlantedTank I’m off tomorrow to get some little Tanganyikans.
Just found your channel.
I was about to ask how this tank is going, but just found what happened.
Looks great.
All the best!!
Awesome well put together video 👍 you got a new subscriber!!!
Thank you
Nice tank
Just found your channel, honestly upset I didn’t find it sooner! Amazing content, new sub for sure!!
Thank you mate!
Gorgeous! Lake Tanganyika is the closest thing we have to reef fish in freshwater; you did them justice with this beautiful setup. Kudos!
Thank you!
Best tank
Gefällt mir, eine weitere schöne Facette des Aquaristik Hobbys.
Ich freu mich aber auch schon drauf das Becken im Brasilian Style zu sehen 😄
Wow, lovely scapped….
Very nice, I am planning to have my own cichlid tank some day :)
It is worth it!
Das Becken gefällt mir richtig gut. Bin gerade dabei mir ein Taganjika Becken einzurichten und dein Stil was die Dekoration angeht, finde ich sehr schön. 😊
Danke dir Dami. Wieviel Liter hast du zur Verfügung? Lg Ben
beautyful tank having such beautyful fish who need marine tank i always love cichlid fish tank i had for 5 years.
Hey I love it
increíble...muy muy bonito...por desgracia en poco tiempo tendrás todo al revés ... Brichardi son excavadores ....las vallisnerias las acabarán desenterrando.....aún así la combinación del basalto con la arena oscura es hermoso...un abrazo enorme
Nice job putting this together. Very interested in where you learned to do the photography and the production work. As good if not better than the tank.
Usualy i am into green and lush plants in a fully planted tank. Thats why i am not into saltwater tanks. But that dark and grey setup with nice colorfull fish is awesome and thanks to you something i might considere in the future 👍
Hey MG, nice to read this! Give it a try! African cichlids are easy to keep i think so. Depends on your local tap water! Cheers Ben
nice...
Hey Bud, out of all the recent lake tanks setup on TH-cam, this is by far the best. Bravo to you, my friend. Great job!!
I can tell you, when I started a Neolampralogus Brichardii tank at my house, I hated those little fuckers. They bred and killed everything else in the 120cm tank. Careful for the Fairy Cichlid haha
😂 Oh my Gosh... i will keep an eye on them 😅

Hi, congratulations! Your aquarium is beautiful!!😃 I would like to ask you if the supplied Pratiko 300 filter was suitable for a 270 gross liter tank considering the absence of plants necessary for the Malawi or Tanganyika biotopes. Thanks a lot!!!😊😊
Check out my new 1000L 300G African Cichlids tank and let me know what you think peeps! I got a lot of inspiration from this specific tank setup!
Nice tank setup, love the fish. I was wondering what daylight setting you use on your Fluval light ( I have the same light)? Like what % on R.G.B.W? Thank You
👍 I like it !👍Gefällt mir gut!
Hi - I just got one of the "marlieri" and I love it. I only have one african chilid and one pleco in a 55 gallon. I would like to add more, but I don't know what would be compatible. Can you help me out? Thanks.
I can sum my comment up in 2 words....Classy Aquarium....
V. Nice
My dream tank!! All it needs is some multi shell dwellers!!! Unfortunately, i live in an apartment, so all i get to have is a 33 gal long with multis lol. One day, I'll have that tank 😅
😊👍
le substrat est magnifique
Hello, the rocks and the substrate are inert? I’ve always used aragonite and or crushed coral to maintain a high ph value. I was just curiouse, beautiful tank🙂👍🏻
I also added some crushed coral to the substrate some days later. But more for the look than the pH.
Hey Ben!
🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What light did you use for night please?
Hello, do you have original lighting in your aquarium or do you use a different one?
It is the original one. And i only use one of them. But there are two of it
Very nice tank! I‘m actually about to create a tanganyika tank as well, but I’m still looking for bigger basalt rocks like yours. Where did u got those from? I only got the smaller ones in the local home improvement store…
Hey Frank, that's funny, because that's what my next video will be about! How i get lots of heavy hardscape for cheap! For example - i paid for the whole hardscape (stones) 18€. Not really much i think so!
@@PlantedTank thanks! Looking forward to your next video :)
Sehr schönes Becken! Ich selbst habe ein 450L Becken mit Tanganjika Barsche und hoffe du wirst mit den Brichardi´s Glücklich, meine vermehren sich in Massen. Mein Besatz: Lamprologus ocellatus, Julidochromis Ornatus ebenfalls mit Nachwuchs, Neolamprologus cylindricus, und die erwähnten Brichardi. Diesmal Daumen hoch ;)
😂 Falls es dich beruhigt. Der Betta lebt normal im 55er. Aber als ich den umgestaltet habe musste der auch erstmal umziehen. Das 270er Becken habe ich inzwischen umgestaltet. Da kommt demnächst das Update-video. Mein Nachwuchs kommt nicht durch. Die anderen Arten sind wohl zu räuberisch. Werde aber demnächst auch auf 400L Upgraden. Lg Ben
Deep ☕
Thank you!
Would like more visual info on the filtration/pump setup.
There is another video about this theme.
Like to see it 6 months on 👍
Update Video is coming soon
Interessting would be how much did you overall(excluding fishes) spend for this insame pieces of Art
Hey Sam, the tank is sponsored, but without the inhabitants/lifestock i think it is ~ 1.300€
Great tank! How do you maintain a high PH?
I am going to make an update video soon. The tank made a great transformation.
Why would you use igneous rock when cichlids actually want super hard water?
Because now i have stable water parameters which i can easily harden with cichlid salt powder to the GH and KH i want
Did you add any nutrient for Vallisneria?
No and yes. I didn't add something in the first weeks. The plants had no problem with it, but they did not grow. So i add on each side two nutrition capsules in the buttom. And it works fine.
@@PlantedTank the same to me, i didn’t add anything, but after few days i added some tropica nutrition capsules. Val is a root feeding plant, it can grow under lowlight but needs nutrition
Hallo Ben, spiele mit dem Gedanken das Fluval Siena 270 anzuschaffen. Würde gerne mit Tanganjika bestücken, lese aber immer wieder das dies zu klein wäre. Bin jetzt total verunsichert, kannst du mir eine Besatzgrösse nennen? Hattest du bisher Probleme?
Hallo Aschas, für ein Malawi Becken wäre es definitiv zu klein. Da würde ich dir eine Größe ab 400L empfehlen. Bei Tanganijka kannst du eine kleine Gruppe je nach Art ohne Probleme ab 200L halten. Ich habe mich bei dem 270L Fluval Becken daran orientiert, dass ich nach gut 50kg Steinen immernoch 200L Schwimmmöglichkeit habe.
Ich würde dir hierfür zb eine Gruppe Prinzessin von Burundi empfehlen (sofern Nachwuchs) 2 x Böcke und 3 x Weiblich
Hey from Indonesian
Hi Ben why plant 🪴 ...there aren't any in malawi
It is a tanganjika 😉 But i gave the plant a try. The rescape will be with only stones.
Did you snack on some celery in the intro? 😂 also how many of each species did you stock?
In the Intro that could be some "cricket chirp" 😅. The Stock rate is 1:3 for the yellow and gray ones, only the marlieri is a couple.
Hey Ben, wo kaufst du dein Zubehör wenn ich fragen darf? Danke
Hey Aschas... meinst du Hardscape?
@@PlantedTank ja genua, kann so grosse niergendwo finden.
Mich würde sehr interessieren wie lange das mit diesen Besatz gut gegangen ist!?
Hallo Rigro, bis dato keine Probleme. Jungtiere schaffen es seit der Rückwand die dazukam auch regelmäßig durch. Bisher auch noch kein Verlust eines Fisches.
@@PlantedTank Die Neolamprologus brichardi sind dafür bekannt nach und nach das ganze Aquarium für sich zu beanspruchen. Hab ich selbst schon erlebt.
Da bekommt „grau in grau“ eine ganz andere Bedeutung … 👍🏼
50 Shades of Gray! 😀
Auch das gerne genommen 😉
is that a real stone?
Yes it is. 52kg basalt stone
Except for Lelupi other boys are barely visible from distance.
Sieht bissel langweilig aus aber das mondlicht ist wirklich toll
Nice, ut the rocks look too symmetrical to me.
After two month to me too. I will rescape it in the new house.
Pasti ada orang indonesiA😁
Klein, aber sehr fein 👍
Die Steine sind sehr schön, was sind das für welche.
Das ist Basalt ✌🏽
@@PlantedTank nein, die großen Steine meine ich...
