tc... rest...? :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

You have no idea who your dealing with... :headbang2

tc - Flow is cool as long, like someone else said... you have some rocks for them duck into to take a break. Hey is it true that your training your fish to fight in the Ultimate Fish Fight...? :naughty:

Shaka dude...

mm
 
LMAO! no they are all entries in to the ultimate fish show im gonna be making. lol nah they got plenty of places to hide from the flow they just never seem to mind it. Ill try turning the top fin way down and the aqua clear way down for tommorow and unplugging the air pump maybe that will do it :) Thanks for the post malawi mayhem :headbang2 No rest for the wicked
 
They dont seem any different with the HOBs turned down and the airstone off. Maybe its just me :)
 
I once asked this Q to my lfs and they said they love it. I asked this Q because I have a drip wet/dry sump and wanted to stir up the bottom. I have a 180g with 3-koralia 4's and a rio 1400(I think) and they seem happier now, then when they only had the rio 1400.
 
I'm starting to miss my little guys. I took a job in Seattle and have been here for a week & half. don't know how long ill be here at least 3 months. I have my girlfriend feeding them and a lfs cleaning my tank twice a month. It really sucks because my gf takes care of them only because I love them so much, but she can give 2 poops about them, and doesn't even know them. I can't even get any pics cause she doesn't have a camera.

really I'm just venting and sharing my depression. I'm getting separation anxioty...LOL sad but true

I don't know what just happened! I thought I started a new thread but some how it ended up on here.

sorry
LOL! no problem man I share your pain somewhat. I had to leave home for a 2 year construction project and I sold 2 tanks over 200 gallons then got up here and within a month was right back in to the hobby I missed it so much. So now I got six tanks im moving back home with me when the job is done :headbang2 And I am in a bidding war for a house back there if that goes through ill have room to build a mega monster.
 
Oh and my system is running full juice again and they seem happier. Also I am setting up my dual stage chemical reactor for them tonight :) Like Malawi mayhem said no rest for me :)
