sorry guys still doesnt solve the problem of trying to start a flow every time i need to clean it out. However this is not even the point All i was asking was for any ideas for a sump and a little info

haha really? my canister seal has worn and so hard to get it on perfect so it doesnt leak once ive opend it. i have aqua one and there is no stopage of water flow when i open it so i have to take all the pipes out the tank every time (mess) and then after when put bak into the tanks i can NEVER get the flow goin to i have to use a bucket and have return pipe lower than the tank to get flow started and then quick out the bucket into the tank (MESS) times all this by 4 and this is what i face. Sump is sounds pretty good to me

if set up properlly.. yeh i already have so many pipes and power cords from lights and pumps and also all the canisters its a real mess so matter how nicely i try to set it up plus such a danger if any way water did get on the eletrics im currently running 3 multi tabs it wud be over :evil: . henward how did you get your canister running on two tanks? gah i really want to get away from using them thouhg but wud still be interested to hear. Dont care houw great some people think canasters are at the end of the day like it has been said it is open to risk of a great mess happening. a sump has to be less maintance and just as effective as the water is still passing through media. would like to hear from anyone with sump ideas how to set up or where i go to getting one made? i found the following as a design, does anyone use something similar? i could see how this could easly be made by a glass maker but where would i get the piping and how the flow would be distributed evenly to all the tanks. website for more info on this design : http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/man ... ilter.html

Hey guys, i currently have 2x 1200x450x450 and 2x 1o00x500x500 anda few smaller fry tanks can anyone PLEASE lead me in the best direction for making my life easy and getting rid of th canisters they are such a mess and a pain! a knowledgeable member told me to look at sumps and he tried to somewhat explain it, but still a little confused :-? other option that i heard about was using air filters? this could work as i have a massive airpump. However my main concern is water qaulity as i have tropheus and malawi's. if anyone can give advise or direct me to some some info on options or what you guys have as filters for multiple tanks that works good and is easy and what i would need to get to make it work and set up it would be much apreciated :roll:

it seems really cheap more so than the other asian brands on trade me

are those dolphins? electra? on the left of that pic? your fish look really cool dude nice set up

Been offered a group of these guys! (1m,3f) they look like awsome fish... old age problem... have to many tanks already haha... What do you guys think?? should i get them? definitly leaning towards yes cause they seem to be rare? and to be honest beautiful :roll: Plus if anyone knows, what they would be suited to tank up with?

If anyone has small fry i would take them on i have a tropheus fry tank that i can keep them in for the time being

I have been looking for some of these guys for ages!! you are really lucky to have. Anyyyyy chance i could buy some fry off you???
