MVP Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Really great job. What stocks did you end up putting in it? did you end up changing your air pump? Cause the bubbles look really good just curious how much pressure you have going into it and approx how much airline runs from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause the bubbles look really good just curious how much pressure you have going into it and approx how much airline runs from it yes i did change the air pump. I had an old one, and it wasn't letting enoungh air out. The one I got is a Aqua One SR.12000 u see hanging. The information part says 2500C.C/Min. The reason it looks strong is because when i took the photo the shutter speed on the camera is set on a slower mode because i used no flash, it gives it that effect. But i can say it is a good air pump. Ive only turned the nob only 1/4 and it does a good job. I have three air line two of them go into one + 2 more, the lines are from about 1m to 1,1/2m. It is also very quite. (what do u mean by stocks) what comp dam robdog013 no worries about the fry. I need to be ready cause ive shut down a couple of tanks. so matts fry savers well come handy.

Sluggo Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 You mentioned that some of the rocks came from a LFS. I've been looking for fake rocks for a 4' tank project and yours look ideal, can you advise which LFS? Your tank looks great, hope mine comes up as well Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
