A week after cycle, I overdosed the tank with fluconzanole to kill it off LOL

Bought new impellers for the stock pumps. If anyone knows what size pump will fit in the back so I can just use one and T the return off let me know

I have a VarioS-2 in mine, it works very well.

If it comes to that Im prepared. I did that too but the dino remained after the dose. But eventually got rid of them by dosing pods.

$215 is a bit much to spend on a pump for this tank lol

I’m running a stock pump and a $40 aqua top LOL

 

[45ZoaGarden]

I have been thinking about swapping them both for a $60 jebao so I have more room on my apex power bar

I was hoping to go down to just one pump but right now Im using 2 stock pumps and replaced the impellers. Working great right now. Eventually Ill move down to 1 pump.

Hey that looks good to me.

Thank you! Much has changed since that picture. I removed the skimmer and replaced it with another intank media basket. Also upgraded the lights to the Aqamai LRM and removed a circulation pump for the moment.
