I have a HEAVILY stocked 700g system, that is fed 3X a day...150-200g water change/per month is not too crazy!...
and Thank You!

Thanks Mike...From what I've seen on your thread...you've done my old tank PROUD!

Alfie - I wanted to ask you...do you know how many fish are in your tank?
Also have you had any fish that simply didn't work out and what kind/s were they?

More pics of the sump when you get a chance maybe please? :flirt:

Alfie - I wanted to ask you...
1. do you know how many fish are in your tank?
2. Also have you had any fish that simply didn't work out and
3. what kind/s were they?

1. yes, I do know!
2. no real problems, a lot of the fish I've had a long time, just in separate tanks. Putting them all in the new tank at the same time, really helped!
3. Only lost a few fish in upgrade, a couple dartfish jumped (despite the mesh top), chromis disappeared! Biggest problem/ disappointment was 5 yr. old, 24" RBTA split within hours of moving to new tank, and both halves started wandering around...had to remove and sell them.

Will find/or take more sump room photos and post ASAP




:shhh: 65 fish

Alfie - A well-deserved award - congratulations

I can't wait to see your tank in person again - it looks like it has filled out a lot since I was there last.
