    Sump Build Design

    So.....I have decided to do a DIY sump instead of buying one. I have a 36g Bow front tank and my tank stand does not allow enough room for a large sump tank. The only size tank that will fit is a 5 Gallon. Here is my basic design (not to scale), will it theoretically work? or does it need some...

    Fluval filter media suggestions please

    Yeah that should be fine! I just set my tank up about 9 weeks ago, so my tank is still relatively new as well. Running chemical filtration during the cycle can just throw it off. If you are going to run the sponge or fine filter floss, just make sure to clean it about every 7-10 days to make...

    Fluval filter media suggestions please

    While cycling, I would not run the carbon or clear max! I would just run with the biological media until the cycle is over. After your cycle is over, i would most certainly run chemi-pure instead of actives carbon. Also i have learned the hard way, but after your cycle you have to clean your...

    Six-Line Wrass Behavior

    So i have had my six line wrass for about 2 weeks now and i have had my true perch clown for about a month. I was wondering if the six line wrass is usually an aggressive fish? Sometimes i catch the wrass chasing my clownfish all over the place. At first i thought it was just playing around, but...

    Slightly cloudy water

    I mean have to tested your level? What are they? When i started my tank i made the mistake of dumping the sand in after the water which caused a mass blur for like 2 weeks, then the sediment settled on the rocks and kept clouding the tank! Is that a possibility? I was also thinking how many gph...

    Slightly cloudy water

    This happened to me up to about the four week period. I added a Chemi-Pure Elite to my filter and it polished my water to crystal clear! i also recommend Purigen as well for water polishing! One last thing i could say is to clean of the debris from your LR to keep it from constantly floating...
