starting up a 180 gal acrylic freshwater tank inputs PLZ

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Your tanks looking really nice I am extremely jealous, going to be a a few years till I can get a huge tank but I do plan on getting a 75-90 soon. Keep the pictures coming :)
 
I haven't checked in on this in a while. VERY NICE! I wish I'd done some of the things you've done when I was setting up my 180. I'm curious about your thoughts on the proflex model 4? I think I told you that I grabbed a used wet/dry locally for a great deal, but I've always kept eyeing the model 4.

I can't wait to see some stock in this tank!
 
Ya so far I'm loving the pro flex model 4 with the wet/dry . its easy to setup and It looks like it will be pretty easy to keep clean but will c I'll keep u updated in couple months

Unless you have an emergency drain, restricting drains is usually not a good idea; it can lead to overflowing of your tank or running your sump pump dry.
 
ok, I asked because the water levels in your pix are really different; I'm assuming the water level in the more recent pic is higher because you valved the drain back?

Just a head's up that you are taking a gamble by controlling water level in your overflow and/or tank by valving back your drain; I'd hate to see you come home to your nice carpet sopping wet.
 
Oh really what do you think I should do? And another question I just added this flourish stuff to my tank because a LFS told me it was good for my plants now my rocks and wood are growing this hair allegy very quick how can I stop that?
