Finally got my two tanks back :)

Last night I transferred the MBU to the 265 and the big cichlids to the 500, kept the small cichlids such as the Salvini's, Chocolate's, etc. in the 220.

The 265 filtration is Eheim 1200XL and Jebo generic 400 gph canister.
The 500 filtration is Eheim Pro 3 and FX5.

Pics are bad, will take new ones once the water clears up.

Still debating what small fish to add with the MBU.

I will be picking up a Beani and Nourisatti in the next week.

BigRich has a Pearsi and Parrot for me, just need to make the drive up there.

Nice set ups and I can tell by your room decor that you must be quite the outdoorsman.
 
Not surprised about the gf lol.What's that hide on the floor in front of the tank, and why did you choose not to go the sump route on your tanks?
 
Great looking set ups and sweet basement, looks awesome.

Just curious but is your 500 have enough filtration with the 2 canisters? Seems like a lot of big cichlids in there. Im sure its adequately filtered just curious is all :)

This is an apartment :)

Well for the past 3 months or so, all the fish you see in those tanks were in a 220. The MBU messed up a lot of fish, so had to sell/trade them, mainly all but one of my 6 Blackbelts, guess he doesn't care for them. Other than that, it went well. I have a lot of media in them. I'm actually look for one more FX5 for the 500, then I will be happy. I wish I could hook up the Ultima II again but have no room for it.

I wanted something there, I don't have a bear hide so used the deer.

If I went the sump route, I would have had the tank tank out further from the wall than it already is. I was going to add three sumps but just didn't work out.

Interesting,I've been dragging my behind in restarting my 265 after resealing it and I have been looking at filter options.As it is I think I will go with a sump and FX5 combo.
 
Awesome, Im glad to see you back in full force again bro.
