disgustipated Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I run a sump for mine. i have a three foot tank i want to turn into a sump but i am a wee bit nervous about drilling my tank for it because it's an old tank....

reptilez Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 mine already had an overflow with a hole and it works well....sump really does work well i must admit...keeps the tank really clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgustipated Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 yeah i'd much rather a sump. and once i get a sump sorted for my big tank i can use my external filters on my smaller tanks. i also want the sump to use as a grow out tank. can anyone drill my tank for me?

reptilez Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 what filters do you have on it Disgustipated ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgustipated Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 what filters do you have on it Disgustipated ? i have a fluval 204 at each end and a large fluval internal filter as well. not as much filtration as i'd like to have, but tank is not heavily stocked and i do 50% water change twice a week, which my fishies love, and i have not had any problems with the water quality so far. my oscar has coloured up heaps since i moved him to this tank!

Do you do it by hand ? or by the shower connected to a hose ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgustipated Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 50% water change twice a week ! wow ! Do you do it by hand ? or by the shower connected to a hose ? my tank is in my room, right next to a window, which is right above a tap and a drain. my vacuum/siphon hose goes directly down the drain, and to refill it i just put the hose through the window and into the tank, and fill it slowly over 2-3 hours. during refill i add another 300w heater to the tank as i usually only have one 300w. my tanks usual temperature is around 21-22 degrees C, i keep it low as i find it reduces aggression. during water changes it drops to around 18 but i have never had a problem in fact my fish like playing in the current from the hose and become a lot more active during and after the water change. i make the hose squirt in fast so it makes lots of bubbles to help dissipate any chlorine but i don't use any chemicals or water conditioner. and my fish have never been happier!
