Hi my name is Luc,

I guess I am a novice to monster fish keeping. I have 2 tanks an 80 gallon tank with 2 O's and a 55 gal. with 1 O. a young mean fish.
I am buying a 220 gallon tank very shortly and I would like to mix all three again + 1 more. I've read that three is a bad number with O's.
The tank will also have 1 orange spotted pleco and 1 maybe 2 syn. erupterus.
The tank comes with an FX5 and I will add a sump as well as a drip system if possible, to cut down on the WC's.
I also have a baby BGK which will be getting the 80 gal. Tave, the mean O, will be going back into the 55 gal if he still does not play fair with the others.
He is VERY shy and prefers the 55 gal to the 80. All my O's are the same age just about a year old.

Looking to share information with all of you,

Luc

WC's should be dictated by your nitrate levels ( which your standard filtartion set-up won't address along with other impurities such at TDS's ect) at the end of the week among other things. But extra filtration and water flow is almost never a bad thing!

But Welcome, and don't get overwhelmed by everything, and everyone!

Hello Monster,
what I mean by drip system is a constant input of fresh water drip by drip from a water source, as well as an output which will be without a drain in my floor, my toilet!! The gf is going to love this one :p
Since my water comes from a municipal supply there is chlorine as well as other things I'm sure, so it will go through a carbon filter system that people install to remove all that junk from their drinking water...
If you knew what I meant please disregard this reply LOL!
Thank you for the wolcome,
Luc :)

Oh yeah if it all works, I will gauge it so 100% of the water is changed over a period of 1 week. I will be tapping from my cold water so it will also lower the electric bill. I will obviously keep vacuuming all the big presents the O's will leave behind!

Hello everyone and thank you for all the welcomes!
I've picked up my new tank and it is currently cycling. It has an FX5 and an Aquaclear 110 at the moment. The tank came with an Eheim pro 3XL which has begun to leak quite a bit. I am waiting for a reply from Eheim as the filter is still under warranty. I will upload pictures of it. One more piece of driftwood will be added.100_2384.JPG100_2383.JPG100_2379.JPG
