Hi ya Wendy.
With regards to the blue filter materal in your sump. Where did you get it, what's it's trade name, what size sheets and does it come in different densities.
Whoops, I too love your tanks. The tetra tank has grabbed me for now, well thought out. Am curious though, do you have problems maintaining your water parameters with such small volumes?

Hello Mick,
The blue filter stuff comes in a 1.2 x 1.2 sheet, that is easy to cut to fit whatever you need I am told. Its called Matala and is available in green and black as well as the blue. Different colours = different densities. Prices range from $100 per sheet to $150 per sheet depending on the quantity you buy and I think what density you choose. My sump was set up for me by the guys at Aquotix in Perth, I'm a total noob to a sump system like this.

The small tanks are easy, I just aim to keep the stocking levels fairly light and do a weekly 1/3 water change. On the little tanks that is less than a bucket of water so its easy peasy. Having said that though the guppy tank is way overstocked and is still sailing along nicely after a couple of years.....and really I only put 5 in there...the rest was all their idea!
