I just read the thread so might be off but if the sump ran dry then you pump was pushing more water then what your overflow could handle. I think you said you had only 1 overflow running. If that's the case I would get both going before you turn ur pump on.

They will be fine. The only time you might have to worry about them starving over night is if there fry.

About the bamboo, it can be submerged as I had mine grow great that way for almost a year. The leaves will start to grow out of the water and looked nice. But if you want to take ot out and want a sturdy plant, I would vote for anubius or crypts. Both grow slow but look nice once they start...

So I need some help, cause I am at a total lost on what's going on. It all started on the 7th when a tiger barb died. I thought maybe it chocked on a fake plant because he looked healthy the night before. Then the following Saturday our clown loaches was swimming at the top with his nose up and...

You can look in ur back yard, streams and rivers. Just boil them to kill everything

a fx5 should be enough for that tank. but that just my opinon.

all in reality you can prob get a couple of each, or add some bigger body cichlid like a severum. Tiger shovelnose gets to be 4' and need a big area to turn around, Thats why I suggested a lima shovel nose. they get about a foot I think.
