I'm tired of my sand! Can I use small polished rocks? How about that company ArtRocks...they are in just about every local store. They say "epoxy coated". Is that alright?
 
Are you having problems with your hang on back filter? Get a Fluidized Bed Filter. They are great. With a sponge filter and powerhead, you won't have to worry about your filter at all.

Squeeze the prefilter whenever you get a chance and you have this simple yet amazing filter with almost no maintenance. They're also cheap. Too cheap to make even. If you have to drill or add a sump to make a wet/dry, you are better off adding a FBF.

Yeah its my AC 110. I just love the filtration!!! Can I use the artrocks substrate?
 
sacrifice your convenience, not the rays.


actually, get a wet/dry and make you and your rays happy.

NOTHING is easier to maintain.

:iagree: :iagree: In the long run its way cheaper and keeps your tank clean longer.
 
Does Artrock have a website? Lol, I googled it and came up with music.

I have been trying to find sand like in the picture Brent posted, but I can only find little bags of it at walmart wich isnt for aquariums.

Im not building a sump for my 180 because if space, but On my 375 I will be building a sump because it will be more convienent for the huge tank.
 
I'd use a wet/dry if I wasnt living with the in-laws. They dont want me to have the tank period. Not to mention the ac110 makes that horrible humming sound now. I'm just going to go buy some small sized river rocks and post a pic and let you guys decide.
 
my 235 has sand in it and i started with 2 rena xp3's and both still run but have sand in them...just recently i added a large wet/dry i like it alot wish i wouldd of used one from the start
