I would be concerned as for long term use about the lid. I meant if it's leaking now from the start, I can't imagine when you have to open and close the lid for maintenance as the knobs wear and tear... However, if your okay with it that's all that matters.

It's good you have a sump as well. Reason having two filters are always better than one. In case one fails you have a back up.

ya i know what you mean, hopefully it will but if not it will buy me enough time to save some more money to buy another filter. I really like running dual filter just for that reason.
 
completely agree with the dual filter system. always best, because hey sometimes you just don't notice a filters not working personally i only check both once a week..

Bummer :( I love corydora. The plants and tank look great bro. I can't wait until a couple months from now when the plants are filling in.

Ya i know, i think corydoras are sweet also, but don't want to lose all of them or lose a geo. Thanks, i have been dosing with rootmedic and there are root tabs in the sand also. I am hoping they turn out nicely.
