It is a really awesome sized tank, but is pretty deep. The filters currently have the...

    This weekend I built one of Matt Quinn's "dump filters" for my 110g peacock/hap tank, using a QuietOne 1200, less than $10 in PVC, and four layers of 2" Poret foam: I consider this a big improvement over the previous dump filter I made for this tank, where I used a double-drilled 20 long...

    So I was cleaning out the filter (aquaclear 110) on my 125 today and found a demasoni in the bottom of it. I was somewhat amazed that it was actually ALIVE in there. I thought that it would have gotten chopped up or just died. It did seem to grow a bit in there because I think if he was that...
