About Me
Hey there, wow your really looking at my account? Well here is a little bit about me.
At the moment I have a 140L tank with a breeding colony of German bred Aulonocara Stuartgranti 'Ngara' Flametails, I also own a 64L grow out tank for the fry.
I also own a 265L tank which houses 6x Cyprichromis Leptosoma Livua 'Jumbo'and 6x Ophthalmotilapia Boops 'Neon-Streak' which will both hopefully breed for me.
That's it in the fish part of things...
I also enjoy fishing, cooking, (Master Chef aye) and play water polo December 2015 I will be representing Australia in the International u18 championships in California (I'm only 14)
Well hope you add me as a friends and have fun here on the PCS

Sump Recommendations
19 August 2017 - 09:35 PM
Quick update:
As of recently I've moved on my 5 foot tank and I'm planning on selling my 4 foot, 140L as well as my 64L fry tank! This is all to make way for if plans go well a 5x3x2, a wide tank may suggest some big fish but you'll have to wait and see!
Now the real post:
I've decided to go with a sump plan in terms of filtration!
So far the sump has been designed to take a course like this,
From tank through a
200 micron filter sock then into a
200G rated media reactor then onwards to a
Small section for bio-balls then pumped back into the tank.
Now in terms of biological filtration I know that bio-balls will provide a fair amount and I was wondering if the sump should be filled with sponge or k1 media?
The tank will be 800 Litres, the media reactor is rated for 757 Litres!
The sump would be about 190 Litres!
And any other tips or recommendations are greatly appreciated!
Yours Lex

Kandeense
23 April 2017 - 10:45 AM
Unfortunately luck had turned for the worst once again and of my 5 kandeense (2m,4f) 1 male and 3 females were knocked off! But it didn't end there, the last female is to be seen as blind and can barely find food let alone her own eggs when it comes to breeding, I'm looking for anyone who will take these two for a little bit of cash or has fish they are willing to sell to me, any help is the search is greatly appreciated!
Thanks all
