    Jebao wp25 or wp40?

    I want to replace my two koralia pumps in my 75 gallon tank. Does anyone own the jebao wp25 or 40? Would the 40's be too much for the 75? Should i go with the 25's?

    Huge pleco

    I recently got a huge pleco for my 210 gallon tank. Hes massive at 22 inches. I was wondering what to feed him other than algae wafers and the occasional cucumber or zuccini? Im going to get him some driftwood to gnaw on as well. Is there anything else i should be giving him? Thanks in advance.
