She is ridiculously tame
I don't even need a net to get her out she just lets me grab her. I can even check her to see how far she is if I need to, not at all like my Mbuna (she's a Vic). I honestly don't even keep track of her spawns anymore, she tells me when she's ready for the babies to be out... She wants to eat! Haha! She once held for 36 days... Think she was waiting to be stripped!? She's like clockwork too, she'll hold again in 4-6 weeks or so

I do
Sump is tore apart... Ok so I've decided on this:
Slot 1 & 2: filter floss. Isn't there like canvas I can use? I'd like to do slot one like a canvas material & slot 2 the stuffing kind
Slot 3: bio balls... Ordered 3 gallons... Is that enough? Chamber underneath: AC sponges & more balls... Thinking about the ceramic plate they sell on BRS for biomedia... Then I need to partition that chamber off so water flows over the blockade into the planted portion of the tank where I will also store my heaters... Or should I keep the heaters in the main?
Then make a box for the pump... How's that sound??? Legit???

Sounds good to me you can try putting the heaters in the sump. I had to move mine up to the main. The temp would fluctuated 10-20 degrees this time a year in the main tank not the sump. These plant really come in handy let me tell you. I've been struggling to get the trates down even after 3-4 water changes a day. I turned the sump off along time ago because the wife would yell about the electric bill. Oh well that's a different story. Ok back on track so I turned it back on and now the trates are going down slowly by them selves. Where I would clean clean and clean and it would jump right back to being blood red on the test kit within a few hours. Can we say amazing
