My new discus is doing great after a week. Eating fine, but still a little skittish around us when we walk into the room. Last night, I added 6 otto's to the tank to try and get rid of some of the...

Thanks guys! I named him "Who Dey" b/c I live in Cicninnati, and right now he looks like he has Bengal Stripes!! I'll definately watch him as he grows up and get some growth pictures.

Okay, so I just started up this tank, and have had them for a whle with Cichlids in them, but not connected. I now have them connected with the 40 gallon as a sump/refugium. I will be putting water...

Try Tractor Supply/Farm supply stores. They always carry the rubbermaid stock tanks. Those are always great for sumps in SW, and I don't see why they wouldn't work just as well for FW. Just they...

No, he doesn't flouresce in the dark, but he will flouresce under the correct lens. His uropods will also change depending on his mood, but you have to have polarized glasses to see the change. I...

Alright!! I got it all plumbed up, filled it up, and everything works as planned!! I did have to remove the added piece of PVC from the drain, and just let the elbow do the work. Keeps it exactly...

What does your drain look like coming out the back of your tank? I can solve the noise problem with a simply Tee, a cap and some airline hose!

Oh, forgot... the light that is over top is just 2 55W PC's. I'm going to be switching them out soon, b/c the bulbs need replacing. Any suggestions on the kelvin? Should I get some...

Yea, that is a large sump! It's a 40 gal tank, which is 4ft long. The pump that I am using is a 500 gallon per hour pump, which equates to about 1900 l/h. I am going to be using a pretty long...

Water changes aren't so bad b/c I change the water from the sump and fuge underneath! So, I never really have to put my hands in there except to go after corals and the such! And, yes, he does love...

No, he comes out all the time! He roams the tank a lot. He knows about feeding time, and loves to ambush! It's almost comical! He EX, if you don't want those shrimp, catch them and send them my...

He would take a finger off with one hit! Known to be the second hardest hitting animal in the animal kingdom! Used to be #1, but was recently replaced by none other than an ant! Go figure?

I could do that, but then I would need flex tubing for the return. I want to have hard lines, allowing for less head pressure. I like the ease of flexline,butI like the hard lines better b/c of...
