My 75g Tropheus Tank - Update - 12-01-09

[Chris Derrick]

Thanks man!
I really want to add a second K4.
So far I have 1x FX5 and 1x K4
935+1200 = 2135 / 75 = 28.46x turnover.
With a second K4 it will be
935 + 1200 + 1200 = 3335 / 75 = 44.46 x turnover.

I have two K-4, one Fx5, two emperror 400's, WD with mag 10 all that equallys tidal pool! I had an K3 for awhile but it gave up on me last month.

Nice man! Looks better than most....
Great flow. Got to have good flow!








But you know how I feel about sand and rock scaping. It's an art.

they really shouldnt be due to the fact that they have different diets.

i agree.

it can work, if they are all eating the same thing, ie; you are feeding nls and dainichi to the whole tank.

they cant have ANY MEATY FOODS; ie bloodworms, krill.

they can have mysis shrimp and shrimp mix every week or so, but not much more then that.

i wouldnt though, you would enjoy them so much more in a colony of just them.

You telling me!

I only got two tanks and I can't clean the algae off the front glass all the time let alone the side or black glass.

[ssrprelude]

wow, even the back glass?

I couldn't do that every week.

I'm too lazy, as you and Brian know.
