Thanks! Will see how the future goes with it!

Nice nice, I'd reconsider the gbr though. Apisto and bolivian will be happier sub 80's while the gbr will prefer higher temps.

Sadly, no where else for him to go.. If he goes in my 36 he is harassed to death, and the 60G is way to low for him. So, for now I run it 79/80 to try and keep both worlds marginally close. I will probably move him, once the GBR fry are ready to move into a larger grow out tank (and wont be eaten by him).

So it looks to me that your running your co2 from the reactor through the canister & out into the tank...how's the flow with tge 304b through that process?

Nope, Canister -> Reactor -> Spraybar

Flow is very well, canister is rated at 525, but we all know thats not legit... More like ~300gph, but its enough to push a 30in spray bar from the reactor, with all plants gently swaying.. I did have to trash their intake and spray bar since it was cheap.

I see I see..didn't notice the position of the canister but I do now bruh...

I find it interesting how others set their systems up...plenty to learn from others experiences...

Definitely, lots of you tube and planted setups from Google.

Alright guys, I moved the Serpaes out of this tank and into the 60G. Everything in that tank was living in fear after I put them in this AM.

But I need to come up with some type of schooling fish that will be good for this tank.

No Cardinals
No Rummies
No Harlequins

Suggestions?

 

[tiger terror]

NEONS then....lol

20L Mafia...

 

[zer0signal]

No no no! I would rather add those others.... Just trying to keep the stock different than the 36 (which already has them)

I'm going to be watching this very closely. It's the exact same lighting setup I'm thinking for my future 40b. I know you canned the 306 in your 36 gal, but do you think it would perform well in this tank with a better footprint?
