Built a wet dry sump. It works great. Problem is at least once a week it over flows my tank. I know I could have less water in the return tub but the trickle sound drives me crazy. Any ideas on why I am losing siphon in my over flo? or what I could do to stop this from happening?

I have an assortment of Cichlids in a 110 gal tank. I am buying a new house and will be moving. You would think I would be freaking out about the school districts and my mortgage payment but no. I need to know how I will move my 20+ fish from point A to point B. I have a 55gal but my son's...

I got home from work to find that my cichlids had broken the hanging thermometer inside the tank. Should I be freaking out as much as I am?

I have a Fire eel in a mbuna 120 gal tank. I am not sure if the fire eel is eating. I have blood worms but if Im not sneaky dropping them in they get eaten before they hit the bottom. Any ideas of things my cichlids wont eat that my eel will?

Built new tunnel system for my Africans tank. Proud of my work.

Upgraded to a 110gal tank with a DIY stand what do you guys think?

Does anyone have a good link to a DIY sump build for a 120gal

I just wanted to run a quick poll. I have used sand in my 55 and in my 29 since I got them. I'm kinda getting tired of it. When I do my water changes the siphon pulls up a bunch of it. It also seems to show everything. Any sediment or fish poop stands out drastically no matter how long I spend...

I have 9 yellow labs that are about 3 weeks old. I just moved them out of the breeding box and into a five gal tank. Now in my breeding box I have two holding females. One red zebra who is three weeks and the fry has hatched in her mouth, and one cobalt who is about two weeks along. My question...

My 55g now holds 4 yellow labs, 3 red zebras, 2 demasonis, 2 cobalts, 2 acei, 1 bumblebee, 1 pleco. Pics coming soon

My demasoni looks like its holding. Not eating, looks like its chewing gum all day, and is starting to show a little bulge under its jaw. It is a mixed African tank. I don't know for sure which fish is male and which is female. I'm afraid to vent them cause I don't want to hurt them. I know egg...

Im getting a new 55 gal tomorrow. Will start cycling it next week. This gives me some time to think about what I want to put in it. I have a 55 now with Africans in it. Im looking for something different now. Something that is not so common. I don't care if its a hundreds little somethings or...

First off Jmedic25 thanks for referring me to the Newbie Pitfall thread. I should have read this before the hundreds of dollars I've already invested. It seems like the two things I've missed are the most important, cycling and a test kit. I took the LFS word for it and bought fish and a 55...

First I thought I had too little. Then I thought I had too much. Now I think I'm good. What do you guys think

I'm new to the fish game so I rely heavily on my LFS. Where I bought my first cichlids told me the fish I was getting were from Lake Victoria (a Yellow Lab. & demosani) and to stick to those fish exclusively because of their aggression. When I went back for more I bought a bumble bee and two...

I recently bought a 55 gal tank. I'm new to aquariums and fish and ended up going with cichlids. I set up my tank best I could. I think it's ok at best. I wanted to see if you guys had some ideas on how I could make my tank go from ok to amazing.
