  1. Hi has anyone done this want to keep the hood filter working as well. Was advised to just go through gap in hood thats already there for air pump hosing, cords etc. But the tubing on my canister filter definitely wont fit through this so will have to drill holes/make a cut out somewhere. Anyone done this? Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

    Algae

    Ive been using the florish excel and plants seem to be growing well and fast but they are covered in algae all the time and im over it so they are all getting pulled out. Im adding a canister filter in addition to the built in hood filter (its an aquaone ar980) anyone done this where did they drill holes for tubing?

    African cichlid

    Hi just further on the food topic. I'm sold on the NLS food but see they have an algae max pellet would this be best for mbuna as opposed to general cichlid pellets? Mine really aren't that keen on the JBL Novorift sticks think maybe they're too large for them at the moment.

    I have just purchased some florish excel I have demasoni and yellow labs. Anyone know if these fish are sensitive to florish before I use it

    Algae

    Hi wondering if anyone has any advice on controlling algae in a newly cycled mbuna tank? I have diatoms which I believe should disappear on their own but I also have is it called black beard algae on my drift wood and plants. I'm aware that reducing lights on time will help but was thinking of something quick and effective eg: treatment or maybe UV set up anyone got any suggestions?

    African cichlid

    BTW forgot to say thanks for the advice super helpful to a newbie. I got my yellow labs JBL Novorift Rift sticks for algae eaters and my fish won't touch it. I'm reluctant to give them other foods after reading about Malawi bloat. But I've tried a few different things and all they'll eat is bloodworms which isn't ideal if the Malawi bloat thing is a true issue. How do I get them to eat the right foods?

    I've decided to go with mixed mbuna going to start with yellow labs and was hoping for Pseudotropheus Acei but wasn't really able to find any for sale. Will demasoni go well with these? I'm sure I'll get a bigger tank in the near future but will need to buy a bigger house first my lfs has kenyi but I've heard these are really aggressive even for an mbuna.

    African cichlid

    Hi wanting to start a cichlid tank and I'm so confused with conflicting info is it OK to keep a mix of Haplochromines, tang, mbuna, vice?? To be honest I'm even confused about the different types. Are they all from Lake Malawi? Also I read that it's better to heavily stock a cichlid tank to prevent a particular fish getting bullied non-stop. I have a 240l tank any suggestions on types of cichlids and how many of each? Female/males mixes vs single sex? I do really like the brightly coloured cichlids. Also any suggestions on substrate tank layout would be greatly appreciated
  10. Hi just wondering if anyone could offer advice on setting up a new peaceful community tank. I have a 240l tank and was thinking about getting a black ghost knife fish (1), some kribensis (? how many), cory (4) (open to suggestions about which type of cory) and was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions for suitable tank mates? I like otos but haven't had a lot of luck with keeping them alive have lost 3 now and only have one left in my smaller 80l tank. Any other suggestions for efficient algae eaters which are hardier, peaceful and don't get too big? I also have one male dwarf gourami and one (female I think) blue ram in my 80l so maybe something different for the 240l??
