I have a ~9" Bala shark I would like to rehome. Recently over the last year or so, two of his other buddy's have passed. This one is pushing 7-8yrs. With the passing, it looks like it's unhappy as there's no one to play with or peck on. And buying the same size fish is too costly. So I would...

Mount_Prion: oh it'll be permanant! i'll give you monthly updates on it's functionality ye? doomiedee: thanks i'll give it some thought. also how is that "easier"? the 'sump' is ontop where my lights are? also i'd have to get another pump... and the change over is prolly so little...

Purpose: to provide mechanical filter for display tank. Also, my fries always find their way to the sump, I'm hoping this will give me an easier time fishing them out. With so much surface area they won't be blown around giving them a higher chance to live than a drip-type I had before dying...

Depending on space and your willingness: algae scrubber time.

Respect.

Lololololol. I have almost the exact same setup. I siphon water from my tank straight into basement drain pipe. And to refill I I made an extra ball valve with a garden hose male adapter at the bottom of my kitchen sink. Taps water straight from the houses brass line. We lazy :)

Such a large tank! I would totally drive the water out with such a tall tank. Hook up a medium powerhead, one end to blow water into tube into drain (if you want to do water change as well) or blow it into a sock filter (water doesnt go anywhere, but less messy). The other end that draws in...

Does a submerged sump pump count as a water heater?

Dont have a Rio, but my old aquaclear from time to time needed a little flushing and cleaning of the impeller and it's housing from gunk build up.

Oh, like kind of an optimum value... it does make sense, thanks.

Thanks for NOT answering the question... Perhaps you should revisited an educational institution as a mature student for English Gr.12 in regards to reading and comprehension :nilly:

CharlieTuna: Well that's a good deal then in terms of saving hassle for getting a tank drilled, respect. And you skimmed out on taxes :nilly: ar0wan i feel that your avatar is awesome, "what'sa battle?" :ROFL:

God I hate this thing: a) its $100+ for a plastic box b) doesn't even include filtration area (sump) cost goes up even for a DIY sump @ a reasonable return rate for a reasonable big tank return rate of 800 gph with the CS100: sump, pump = ~250-300$ (no including return plumbing) That's a solid...

two 6" flagtail prochilodus got toss into the mix all is good... ^^

Large Mouth Bass easily. Got a sleek body and inhales anything!

Hi, could someone please explain to me why the following occurs: When testing for water parameter if you leave it longer than you should for the color change to occur, say instead of 10min as the instructions say, you leave it for 24hrs... the color gets darker than what it normally would...

^^What he said Wetting the organic matter will just just start the leeching process again (granted it's slower since it had time to dry out) but none the less, rinse it everytime you use it mate; its a good idea, I like it! Been meaning to rig up the SAME thing myself. I mean walking to the sink...

LOL, I light my 30" high tank with 1-2 CFL 23w bulb from Home Depot and it's bright as hell right to the bottom... And i tested going the other way 23w with 3200k and it didnt penetrate as deep. You want WHITE as close to 5100k as possible and you want WATTAGE! Going higher in Kelvins does...

*applause for find* This thing is genius! I must try and find, I'm in Canada. I too have a 30" tank and I normally siphon with a med. sized airline tube, but always hated that the water ended up in the bucket and adding 2-5g in a 150g annoys me lots! Thanks for find! Gonna look around at LFS...

LOL?
