Love the choice of filters (sponge filters!). That's the truly only way to fly in a great fish room!  |

It's been a slow go with the fishroom I installed another plug so I can now move my upstairs 55g and put it onto the stand. Also I hope to get a central air system put in place. Here's a few pics  Big male Lemon Jake  Burundi Frontosa's - Lemon Jake males   Flavescent & Dragon Blood juvi's   |

Well a few months have passed and I have a male flavescent peacock showing color. Hopefully I'll have a female and they will start to breed.

Hello everyone Looking for a little feed back on my planned central sump. I'm taking an idea from a youtuber who is using this method already but i want to add one extra component and get your feedback on how to make it work. from the uploaded drawing i tried to make it pretty simple to understand. Starting at the beginning the water is pumped up to a "T" where 2 ball valves are located. ball valve #1 open on the drain side to allow water to pump to the tanks (blue), water overflows back to the sump (red) and circulates in that manner. To do water change, open ball valve #2 at "T" to the tanks and close the ball valve #1 to the drain and the pump drains the sump and tanks overflow until desired height over the overflow. My idea is to have a second overflow on each tank. Set at 50% line so when it's time to do water change. I would open ball valve #2, close ball valve #3 and let tanks drain to height of the desired overflow. (green) Would this be possible or will my main set of overflows lose their prime and i would have to manually prime them each water change. trying to get a better understanding of what may or may not happen in my proposed process. Thanks  |

Nice Andre! Now you need to make sure your light schedule is right for not creating an algae garden!

Nice Andre! Now you need to make sure your light schedule is right for not creating an algae garden! Lights are only on for a couple hrs per day.. Sometimes a little longer on weekends or when I'm cleaning tanks! |
