I liked watching the white clouds try to swim against the current.Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

So the oil pump in my brother in laws 94 Toyota Corolla needed a oil pump rebuild and a new crank seal and valve cover gasket and so on. Lets just say this 1.8 liter four banger had more oil leaks than a helicopter. But after 250,000 miles and some bad mechanics in china town it needed help. But he paid me well so I am not going to complain.
Took the money and went to CityPets and grabbed some freeze dried blood worms put them on the counter and said gimme a MP40.
This thing is the sex.....
I wish I had cut a 4 inch hole in the back of the stand so I could get the controller through. So I opened up the controller unplugged the cable and ran it through the back of the stand then put the controller back together.
I haven't mounted the controller yet so I haven't taken any DLSR pics yet so here are some cell phone pics of the pump mounted on the tank...

It's adjustable plus it give me more surface flow the top level of water didn't have enough. If I crank it all the way up I get a cool little waves. I am going to set it up today to do long pulses.Originally posted by armthehomeless View PostIn case you didn't already have enough flow ...

Great tank, Nick. Can't wait to get mine stocked. What are you feeding your gobies and hillstreams?
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

The gobys are eating freeze dried blood worms, live shrimp, and baby rams horn snails. The rams horn snails were an accident. I put some plants from another tank with snails in it in this tank forgetting about the snails. But the rhinos are eating them. The shells are soft enough for them to smash up. They are such messy eaters.Originally posted by wesleydnunder View PostGreat tank, Nick. Can't wait to get mine stocked. What are you feeding your gobies and hillstreams?

The hill streams are eating the algae that is growing on the tank walls and rocks and drift wood. If they find any left over food they will eat it. Blood worms, flake, and algae wafers after they soften up.
