180 almost ready

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ur camera skills suck lol. change those spongs dude, they even have the "scotch" green scrubby side on those sponges LOL. thats funny. top layer should be mechanical of some sort, some kinda poly, 2nd layer could be sponges, then 3rd layer could be pot scrubbies, you dont need bio balls unless ur ballin outta control. tanks lookin sweet tho.
 
a pre filter is a pad of mechanical filtration of your choice. do a forum search on pot scrubbers and surfas area.
 
wow nice size tank.. what are your plans? What fish.. keep posting pics so we can watch it come together into an awesome show tank,, looking forward to it.. i know you are!:)

why is it a toss up between an ac110 and a fx5??? the fx5 flows like twice as much water as the ac does.. I would go fx5 since I am sure that you are gonna put some big pooping fish there
Because i have a 120 that has a RD,Oscar,FH,and Dovii and i dont want to use just 2 AC100s i want somethin better for them

I know i'm not that good at taking pics:) I'm working on it tho i'm just figuring out the diffrent modes on my cam. Do you have any pics of what those 3 levels should look like? Any pics of what those things in the diffrent levels are?

Well my 120 is wayyyyyyyyy over stocked with juvi SA/CA cichlids and i wanted to provide them with a better home. 2xjd 5xrd 3xfm 1xballoon pink con 1xGT 1xfh 2xSilver dollars... i bought all of these when i first got into aquariums and nobody else in my family knew about aquariums and i got some false info on all these fish like "they will live there forever".. I just couldnt get myself to let them go but i do have a 100 that will be empty after i move then RD,O,FH,dovii into the 120 and i also have a 60 and a 40. One of the JD is 10" and the others are 3-5" I know I know its bad
