As you can see the Catfish does not seam overly impressed???
We may have to move to a quarantine tank.
I think the monkey fish is adapting quite well...but time will tell.

The cat fish does not look like he is very happy about posing with the monkey fish

After having a catfish myself in captivity, I can say that catfish should not be kept in captivity long term. Their natural food source is just not there. It's hard to breed birds and mice to meet the demand, if not impossible. The potential for them to eat smaller fish is very great. I personally haven't tried a monkeyfish, but yours seems to be doing well.

All jokes aside, I'm very much looking forward to this build!

Finally...got some work done in equipment room!!!
Amazing flooring!...Marine painted walls!. And super led lights!

 

[Albertastorm]

OMG!...what's going on here!
Could a farmer from Alberta Canada have bin right???

 

[Albertastorm]

Could a ball of Chaeto rid our tanks of nitrates and phosphates and feed the planet????

I'm following. This is going to be interesting. That looks like a roll-around tool chest. Being a tool guy, they rust easily, so I'm interested in how you'll keep it from rusting.

EDIT TO ADD:

Pictures added since I started typing....looks like the wheels were taken off the tool chest.

My plan is to coat this in bacon grease)!
So while feeding and taking care of fish I can have a snack)!

Good Day!
Need a little help from you experts.
Plumbing over flow down to equipment room in basement....2.... 2 inch drains in external over flow box.
One I will plumb with valve to create full syphon...safety will just be 2 inch pipe to maximum water height to run at slow trickle and incase other one plugs.
Can I tie these together before dropping to basement equipment room?

 

[Albertastorm]

Another question...going to need power for equipment around the room.
What is best way to do that?
Main breaker panel for house is in that room.
Pics from your equipment rooms would be much appreciated!!!!!

Yes they make an awesome sump
Likely a better fit for your 75...only reason it may work here is I will have a 180 ahead of this sump as refugium.
