Window sill aquarium.

I bought this tank about 15 years ago to house a goldfish on a window sill. I had it constructed to fit the window sill, it is 24″ long , 8″ high and 8″ wide. It has a capacity of 4.84 gallons (22 ltr).

The goldfish was moved into a friends outdoor pond when he became too large for the tank and the tank was not used until June 2014 when I decided to try it as a tropical tank. This was something I had not done since I had a 24″x12″x12″ aquarium back in the early 1970′s.

This is a photo of the initial setup with no fish added. I left the tank to cycle for about 4 weeks. With a bacterial starter added to the internal filter medium
