Thanks for the thoughts. Really frustrating when they go so quickly. Haven't lost anything for ages so will be stressing over the next short while in case theres something in the tank :-?

He is no more!!! "BUGGER"!!!

Hi Ryan. Was eating and behaving ok last night. Ive put him in a seperate holding tank but its starting to look grim!! He seems to be strugling to keep his balance. Ive propped him up so he stays upright and given a dose of Melafix. I don't really know what else to do.

I have a large male (15cm) Compressercep that I have had for a couple of weeks now in a large Malawi community tank. Hes not acting as he usually would. Hes sitting on the bottom and is very passive and quiet (can put the net in and scoop him up). All other fish are fine. These is no visible damage or injuries. Any suggestions on what I can do for him?

Hi Guys. Anyone know what the type of Jacob Freibergi's is that is currently available in the shops? :-?

I have some stunning photos of some of my guys buy not quite sure how to post the pics. Any suggestions??

Hi Bulldog. Go for it. You shouldn't encounter any problems. Malawis are hardy fish. Ive been known to do 100% water changes (fish caught and put in buckets) with no evident effect to the fish. Not sure about the temperature change though as Ive always filled my tanks with water around the 26 degrees mark.

Thanks for all the help guys. Got the picture in my head now all I have to do is make it fit into the cabinet!

Hey bOi. Sorry if I caused any problems for you. :oops: I really appreciate your help. I never thought that you had claimed to have drawn the schematic. I feel guilty to ask questions now cause arent most of our ideas forged from other peoples??
-
Hi bOi. Thanks very much for all the info. Do you know he website that you got the schematic from? Wouldn't mind checking that out

Just to give you guys a little bit more info. The tank is 8ft x 3ft x 2ft. I was thinking of putting 2 sumps into it and pluming 1/2 the tank to one sump and the other 1/2 to the other sump as it could be a little difficult getting a 3-4 foot tank into the stand. This would also give me a bit of a saftey factor if I ever had a pump failure. Does this make sense??? :-?
-
Ok then. the sumps have it!!!! Anybody got any good reference sites for making sumps and can anyone share their secrets:)
-
Does anybody have any info on how to do the plumming for a sump?
-
Yeah. I have a concrete floor so that aint a prob. The tanks getting a new lid so its hole drilling time. Decisions, decisions :-? Once its in place it aint going to be going anywhere so I wanna to get it right first time. Ive already got 4 new 1200lph filters but that isnt a problem. If I dont use them on this tank I can always get 4 more tanks :lol: (Don't tell my wife!!!)
-
Hi guys. In the process of setting up my tank (1400+ litres) but unsure what way to go in regard to filtration. :-? Some of my Malawis and my 6 pack of Fronts are going to be the new occupants and are getting impaitent. Would be keen on any feedback as to whether I should go for a sump or external filters. Thanks for any sugestions that you may have.

Hi Mekhaela. sounds like your tanks are like a baby factory at present. :lol: Which variant of Aulonocara jacobfreibergi do you have. Ive got a couple of males and females as well however Im waiting for clarifiaction on species. They look very similar to the "Undu Reef" variant. Would be interested in your thoughts

Hi Afrikan. Luv must have been ib the air that night cause Ive just seen a large group of baby Lionheads in my tank as well. Mum and Dad were being a bit naughty though and having a wee munch on the odd one so it was all hands to the deck as I stripped the tank to save the wee fellas. 52 luckylittle guys

Hi Guys. Just a quick Question (not really related). Can someone tell me where organism is in CHCH as Ive only ever gone to Redwoods when I go to CHCH. Do they have much in the way of African Cichlids? Thanks
