Will definitely suck battery ! Especially if you constantly messing with it :lar: My phone still tends to make it through the day though :fshi:

Nice ! :fshi:

I downloaded this and thought it was pretty cool ! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jw.lwp.aqua.free&hl=en

Looks great Greg !! Super informative !!

I think it's a lamp ?? :fshi:

I have 2 x Tunze 6045's in my 1700 x 600 x 600 tank and that combined with the return pump gives me more than enough flow , the 6045's are not controllable , you can dial them back a bit with the blue sleeve that you move up and down . I found that if you want controllable Tunze's they jump up quite a bit more , hence I "settled" on the 6045's and have been quite happy with the result. Ideally I would have liked to have gotten the Ecotech Vortech MP40 but at around $ 800 its quite a bit to lay out :fshi: I also got my gravel from Stone and Water World on Marua rd , I got 1-2mm Black marble chip and was quite happy with the result , I mixed 1 bag of the Chip with 2 bags of Cichlid mix

Cool video David :dnc1:

I have 4 Cuckoo synodontis in my tank , they are definitely my favorites but don't come out much :fshi:

HOLY CRAP !

Got home tonight and found this little guy in the overflow, I checked the sump and tank but could not find any others ... :bggrn:

Been a while since I updated my "journal" I decided to do my sump a little differently so here is SUMP 2.0 The reason I decided to do a re-design was that my old sump was just too difficult when it came to maintenance , I would have to completely remove the plumbing to get to the tower and I had actually no more space for any type of media at all if I wanted to add anything so I got thinking and came up with what you see above , I finished it up last night after a few tweaks here and there and so far the result is much better , my setup was always pretty quite and you could just here a bit if a splashing around in the old sump tower , but now it is totally silent , all you can hear is a slight hum from the pumps so well pleased :bggrn:

I ended up with a "spare" section in my new sump due to my bad calculations and am planning on filling it with 30ppi Poret filter squares and was also considering plants ? Does any know which plants would be suitable for this purpose ? reducing nitrates etc. Thanks ! :fshi:

Thought you'd been a little quite lately !! Sounds like you had a good time , Awesome tank in the first pic !

Awesomeness !!! Nicely done mate !

I got NLS from KENSFISH when I ordered my lights but I think Barking Buddies is stocking it now ?

Got a slightly better quality clip last night , still trying to figure out the best setting on my cam , but clicking the HD setting on youtube seems to help a bit . http://youtu.be/ZU2e80YLlUM and one of the Cuckoos http://youtu.be/nNo7mBqfn7Q?list=UU2SCYR8qsQDdgo_eJZ2xIjw

Yes , the dolphins have brought the other fish out a lot more , they do still get a bit spooked but generally the come out more , and having them out makes us spend more time at the tank so they get used to us being around so Win Win really ! :thup:

love this tune Guns n roses - Patience

I am considering some tank mates for my Dems and Yellows , I was thinking of either, - Red Top Trewavasae - Auratus Cichlid - Peacocks ??? But don't know which ones would be compatible or if that would even be an issue ? anyone have any advise regarding this please ?
