Re: new six by two by two

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?

Re: new six by two by two

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.
