    Hello folks, Planning in the next few months to do my first high tech tank build. Just because I am a gluten for punishment I am also trying to make my lighting system meet a specific aesthetic quality.

    Here's my 29G tank after 3 months of setting up! Would you believe that almost all these plants started out with just 5 stems each I got for free?

    The Fluval spec is only 45 dollars on Amazon while the Fluval spec 3 is 69 dollars. My questions are, is it reallly worth paying 69 dollars for the newer Fluval spec 3? Is the Fluval spec smaller? And...is the Fluval spec 3 better? Thanks.

    I have recently acquired a free 55 gallon with filter, No lights. I plan on planting it with MTS and having this tank be low tech, no added co2. It will be housing my false julii corydoras (they keep having babies and are now overstocking my 20L :icon_lol:). I will be mostly growing rotala...

    This is an idea that has been bothering me for some time, can't I just run two lines into my sump one for my in and one for my out with my water pump in my sump with both lines pre drilled (in case of power loss) so the lines can break the siphon once the water level has dropped a certain amount...
