Custom Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Is it possible to have two pumps going in the sump pushing water into one intake tube? I was thinking it might be cheaper for me to buy two medium pumps then one large, what your opinions on this?
 
I have worked with jags a lot in a 125, I found they usually do very well with silver dollars, maybe a med. sized cat (ive always kept a lima shovelnose with them) I currently keep a pair of jags and a pair of Jd's with a lima and a massive 16'' common pleco in a 125., i have never had any problems youll usually notice with your jag will be very defensive to one spot or cave they dont really swim a lot, just mainly staying guard of their spot, jags make perfect centerpieces especially with a large male JD maybe even a med. sized pike my male ended up purple with a yellow head, I think of it as two different types of spotted cichlids. Best of luck this is a pic of my pair in the 125.

I dunno what I want now the more I think of it the more I can't decide! lol They all seem like great options haha anyways, got some news!! Just moved the tank into the garage. You know what that means?! it means I have a lot of work to do xD lol I don't like how he did the sump so its getting all the holes plugged and I'm doing a wet/dry but enough of me blabbing here are the pics!

Sump... gotta do some work on her to make her MFK worthy!!
 
Just wanted to say that you can make pvc over flows that won't pull from the top of the tank...so you can have the 18" water level.
 
It came this way so I'll probably keep it this way just because its easier to leave them then to remove and cover all the holes. Besides I think this version of overflow looks better in my opinion :) haha Plus its only 15" tall :P haha
