Thank you! I think I'm going to give it a try.

So, I'm pretty much just waiting to find some rock at a good price. I have sand and rodi filter comming tomorrow so I'll start making some water when I get home from work. I stumbled upon this wave maker, Jebao RW-8 Series Wavemaker with Controller. Has anyone used them or heard much? Videos on...

Perhaps I'd do 3 of the cardinals. Just read odd groups?

So, where is everyone getting their dry rock from?I was going to purchase 35 lbs of just dry rock and get 5lbs of live rock from my lfs. Also I have a quick stock list; (1)Royal Gramma (2)Snowflake clowns (1)goby/shrimp pair (2)Banggai cardinals Please feel free to give advice on the stock...

I got everything mocked up. It's not where I want it but the furnace air return is in the way where I originally was going to place this aquarium. Everything fit up good! Just have to 90 the overflow piping and glue in one more baffle that I noticed was mia on the overflow side. Now, there is a...

So for $125 I picked up another 40 Breeder drilled with an overflow and return along with a 20 gallon long dyi sump with the plumbing and a nice little pump. Guy had it up and running for two years but had to downsize when he moved. I'm really glad I stopped into my lfs to get some info on sizing.

So this is the stuff I have in my cart. I figured I will try to dyi the sump with a aquarium I have in basement (20 long). I have two return pumps in the cart and don't know which one is better. Did I over do the overflow too?

Hi all. I am looking to get my 40b going again and my wife really wants sw. I did it before but very half arsed. I would like to do an overflow with a sump this time. I was going to go with a mp10 for in tank flow along with the return. Last time I had a hob skimmer......how do I size a overflow...

Hi all. I am debating on either adding 2 aq110's to my 90 gal Oscar tank along to replace my penguin 200s and work along side my aquatop500 OR going to a Sump. If I go to the sump I have no idea where to start. Help please!

Here are some recent photos :)

Hello all! It's been a while since I have signed on but my tank has been doing very well. The Oscar and Acara are co-existing well (mostly cause the acara hides) and so is the Plecostomus. The plecostomus is so messy though I am thinking about selling him off and maybe added a few silver...

Thank you!

Just a updated photo of my fast growing not so little anymore guy!

Thanks! Ever since my first nitrate issue I've had 0 problems keeping levels in check.....in fact the twice a week is probably overkill but I have the time right now so why not?! I figured he will grow healthy and strong that way :)

I can't believe how fast my little guy is growing! I mean I can seen as he gets fed well and gets a 50% pwc twice a week, BUT pretty soon he will be all grown up and all I'll have to remeber my little 4" O by will be pictures! He can be snotty with the 6" Pleco and 3" acara but the acara is fast...
