Just beautiful

This fish tank inspired me to do a 500 gallon peacock tank after 20 yrs out of the hobby. Amazing how things have changed, I could've bought a Harley.

@@Jetblink619 just glad to have you back. I’m fairly new to African Cichlids so I’m taking tips from all of you content creators so that my fish can thrive as yours do

Yes!

welcome back bro! Surprised you didn't go back to the K1 media.

Thanks! One of my issues with the k1 is how loud it is, which is one of the main reasons I don’t run it in the 300 anymore. I do have a ton of it sitting around and there is a chance I could use it on the new plywood build so we’ll see!

Please document the whole build

Also phosphate pads and algae fix will clear them bad boys right up speaking from experience 💪🏾💯

I will give that a shot! I’d love to get that green algae off the rocks….certainly isn’t coming off by scrubbing them so idk….

Your setup is awesome...so inspiring...I recently bought a 75g with a 40g sump, and it has a single durso(40mm) overflow. Do I need to also have an emergency drain as well? Kindly advise as I want to ensure that my setup is correct to avoid problems later on.

Thanks! You should be fine with the single Durso drain. I have a 90 gallon that runs the same set up as you have.

your tanks and sump setups look amazing. could you please tell me what is in the hefty container in your sump? What media do you use in it? In the video you mentioned a future summary on this which I have not found.

I will make an update vid on this setup/sump. The Hefty container is what I came up with to replace the automatic roller filters I had on this tank. It is a mechanical filtration, consisting of different sponges, and water polishing filter pads. Vid to follow later this week.

What was the final review on the algae scrubber? Was it worth it?

@Jetblink619

Жыл бұрын

Honestly I can’t say that I noticed much of a difference whatsoever. That being said, I have had the scrubber off for the past few months. I may entertain the idea of trying it again in the future with the hope of better…..or some….results.

What do you think is the algae scrubber worth it?

Beautiful tank! How often do you do water changes and how much water?

@Jetblink619

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I haven’t done water changes on this tank in almost two years. I have a constant drip system set up on this tank (automatic water changes). It changes out roughly 25 gallons per day. I have a video or two on my channel on it that shows how it’s all set up if interested.

wow... what do you feed them??

@Jetblink619

The 300 is running around 1700 GPH at the moment, so turnover rate is almost 6 times per hour.

Do you notice any difference in the fish switching fom the black sand to arognite sand?
