Cracked a deal, didn't you. 25% off equipment, that's top notch. Drilling a hole for a sump isn't rocket science, but I wouldn't risk it on that Seashell Aquarium if you're new to it. What's the plan, what's going in there?

Nice one, how much did you end up paying for that setup? I've got the same size tank, running 2 FX5's for my SA cichlids and it's doing the job just fine.

Re: Cyphotilapia frontosa discussion
Sounds a bit cramped for frontosas, if you ask me. They can grow up to 16 inches, so you might want to consider a bigger tank for breeding a couple.
