well both ponds feed into each other. there is a pump that pumps the water to the upper pond, then the upper pods trickles through a mini stream to the bottom. every time i walk by it there are atleast 15 frogs the yelp then jump in. once, we saw a full size bull frog eating a bird.... hahaha...

there are two ponds that are connected by a small stream in our back yard with black liner. the top pond is probably 7' in diameter and 3' deep and there is a 5' stream that feeds to the bottom pond which is maybe 8' in diameter and about 4' deep. there is a bed of pea gravel on the bottom...

good to note. the lfs around me are a little weird sometime their fish look amazing and sometimes they looks like they have been through hell. I think i may go with the atlantic blue because i think its a prettier fish, and i might be upgrading to a 125 in a year or so.

My tank has been cycled for about 2 weeks now and i plan on getting 2 smaller ocellaris clowns in about a week. Right now i have a small clean up crew... 9 hermits, 5 cerith snails and a skunk cleaner shrimp... I plan on getting another 1-2 cleaner shrimp and about 10 or so more snails along...

Any one keep Triggers around here?

I am confused with sumps, i have a spare 20g long that i could convert to a sump, but what modifications would i have to do? Also, the wet/dry filters at pet stores with the blue bio balls... could those be used as sumps/fuges ?(taking out the bio balls of course) I am pretty good at DIY...

Ok, i have a 75 gallon tank right now and i want to set it up for a humu picasso triggerfish and a snowflake moray eel. I know any smaller fish and crustations would become food. i know it might be a small tank for these two fish, but i will probably upgrade when they get large. I have done...
