    Sump or FX6

    I would build a sump for a fraction of the price, its honestly quite easy and you can much something much better than an eshopps 300-CS. I used a 55g on my 180g which is almost double what the above sump holds and a much better layout. All you need is an old tank to use for spare glass as...

    Rope fish

    Price is fine, never kept any with cichlids. Can get to around 18", cousins to Polypterus so they breath oxygen, so you will need space at the top of the tank for them to breach a little bit. Generally not aggressive, generally a fine community fish.

    WTB wet/dry filter

    It's going to be rediculously expensive to buy one. I would just make your own out of a 55g or 40b. You can find lots of guides online, pretty easy and you'll save a couple hundred dollars, as well have exactly what you what since you can customize it for your needs.

    Beltway aquarium closing?

    Perhaps their cichlid prices are reasonable, I wouldnt know (surprisingly enough) I'm not a cichlid person, but every trip I have taken there has been nothing but rediculous. They have a poor 2' Jardini that they would rather die in a 75g than sell at a reasonable price (they have it listed...

    Beltway aquarium closing?

    The owner wasnt a nice guy for sure, but they were the only store that actually had rare fish for a decent price. I personally really dislike HOT, one of the reasons being their outrageous prices, which will probably go up with even less competition.

    Sick synodontis

    He doesn't look that bad to me, but it could be a variety of things based off those pictures. If his lower half wont stay down it could be swim bladder issues. If he is truly bloated, he could be constipated or have parasites. All are manageable with some research, no reason to kill the...

    tips for weaning off of live food?

    Your talking about large predatory fish, just starve them and throw in frozen tilapia or market prawns every couple days until they eat. They will not starve, I promise. With that said, you need to get them off feeders ASAP. Feeders are riddled with diseases and sooner or later with infect your...

    Need dirty filter sponge.

    Fishless cycle with ammonia is really easy, you can find the ammonia on amazon if your hesitant, most that are usable have a review by a fishhead letting you know its safe. It does take forever though, I just did it to my 180 and it took 3-4 weeks of dosing everyday, the nitrite to nitrate...
