The housing system is comprised of six separate systems, delivered by the German company Aqua Schwarz GmbH.  Each system is complete with its own header tanks, filters, UV-lights and heat elements. They differ in size, and vary from 64-tank systems up to 434-tank systems. Four of the systems have racks which support interchangeable 3-litre polycarbonate tanks, while two of the systems are comprised of 11-litre stationary glass aquaria. In total, the housing system can maintain more than 20,000 adult zebrafish.
