Hi, Setting up my 28g JBJ NanoCube and wanted to bounce my filter/sump setup off you guys to ensure I am on the right track. The back portion of the tank has 5 compartments (I think called a mini sump). Here is what I currenly have in those 5 compartments. Please set me straight if I am not...

Hi All, Been a while since I've posed, and wanted to share the last addition to my 80g fw planted tank. I'm stoked about my new discus.

Yea, I've stayed there. Great tank. They even have a water slide going right through the middle of the tank. You can kinda see it in the above pic.

Ok, thanks Nippy. I will either just get 1 male Pearl or maybe 1 male and 1 female Pearl. T Fades.

Yea, just a fw community, not reef. Hey Jsoong, I think you may be right. I had this setup going over the past 2 years with dwarf sag as a foregroung plant. It did really well, and as I understand the dwarf sag is somewhat of a medium light plant, I must have been giving it enough wattage...

I plan on low light plants such as Amazon Swords Anubias Vals a little Java Fern maybe dwarf sag (not sure about this one)

it is a standard 80g, so I think the depth is around 24".

whoops, good catch. 80 gallon

Hi All, I have an 80 fw community tank. Lighting it are 2 Corallife T5 fixtures. Each fixture has 2 28w bulbs (one full spectrum, and one 6700k flora spectrum). So, the total watts is 112w (56w of full spectrum, and 56w of 6700k spectrum). My question is, in trying to adhere to the 1.5/2...

All great advice guys. Thanks, and keep it coming.

Hey All, I am starting to dream about what fish I want to stock my 80g fw with. Here is the list that I want to get (eventually, after the cycle of course): 15 cardinal tetras 4 pink skirt tetras (for the wife of course) 1 male pearl gourami 5 glass cats (again) 3 oto's (again) 1...

The old inhabitants included: 5 glass cats 7 rummynose tetras 3 oto's 1 dwarf gold nugget pleco 3 yoyo's 1 flying fox 1 marble angel 5 black phantom tetras 3 pictus cats funny, I never realized I had odd numbers of each species. New inhabitants will hopefully be: 15 cardinal tetras 6...

Hey Guys, I'm new here. Lots of good info in this forum. I have an 80g fw community tank. Anyway, I recently moved, and unfortunately my fish did not survive the 5 hour drive to the new place. So bummed :sad:. So, I am in the process of pretty much starting over. I have a Fluval 405...
