I have two aquatop cf-500 on my 125 gallon African tank. I love them so much. Quiet as anything else, and very easy to use in my opinion. My levels are always great and never have any trouble with them. I would highly recommend them.

Ok, I want to have some sort of planted carpet in this tank. What are good carpet plants? Also what substrate should I use to help that. I was going to use pool filter sand. Should I use a fluorite? Also will the led lighting be enough to grow a carpet?

I'm picking up a fluval chi on Tuesday for 20 bucks. I want to put some shrimp in it, what would be some good choices for shrimp for a tank that size? Also would I need a heater? It's going to be in my office at work(I am the pastor of a church). Any help would be great. Also what plants...

Well yesterday they managed to dig quite the nice nest in the tank. Both of them did the work. I did also note that he is longer than her but she is fatter.

Even though he is nearly the same size as her?

I made a cave with some rocks, but I am considering going to get them one of those cichlid caves. He is interested sometimes and not really at others. What does that mean?

Here are my two Kribs, who I am pretty sure are male and female. The female will vibrate her body when the male comes near. Is this how I know I will have babies soon? What are some other things I should look for?

So far no aggression towards the cories. They are left alone. If I decide to rehome them to my 55, what other bottoms dweller could I throw in there? I was looking at some clown loaches possibly.

The Cory cats were in the tank with the Africans when I got it. For some reason they are left alone. I am working on the aquascaping with rocks.

So far I have a venustus, 3 neolamprologus pulcher, a blue lab, 2 yellow labs, a perlmut lab, 1 kenyi, 1 metriaclima esthrae, a m. Aurastus, a peacock, 2 that don't look like Africans, and 6 peppered Cory cats. Oh and a clown pleco. How many more fish would be well stocked? I am running 2...

Check out my new 125 gallon African setup. I love this tank. Let me know what you think.

Anyone ID the cichlid in the pic. Not the blood parrot, the other one. It looks like a five star general to me.

What is the best thermometer for a 125 gallon freshwater? I used to have a corallife but it wasn't always accurate. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I live in searcy about 45 minutes from little rock.

So I currently have the option I getting a 125 gallon tank for 1000 dollars, with stand and canopy. It has a great setup with a 3d background, 2 heaters, lights, breeding pairs of Africans, all the chemicals, test kits and other stuff he had. It is filtered by 2 aquatop cf-500 uv's and an...
