Thats exactly how i feel about it.. Welcome back!

Highly Recommended! New Discus

This was directed at canisters for the most part. you shouldnt have any other media besides ceramic and sponges for a simple reason. The sponges act as your mechanical media, and the ceramic acts as your biological media. I know you know this, but not what i really mean. Why i say only...

Great video Rick!

You shouldnt have anything in your filter other than ceramic media and sponges. Start with that, and go from there. (in another post, i read you had floss, and carbon) Ditch those, and go with ALL ceramic, and the sponges on the outside.

Bacteria in a bottle, for freshwater tanks is garbage. Its the wrong type of bacteria. Doing a live fish cycle is also a bad idea. You run the risk of adding parasites or other pathogens to the tank.. plus you waste money on fish, that you end up killing, or damaging permanently. Plus, you'll...

What are you looking to run with these pumps? I know you mentioned the sizes, but what equipment?(air-stones, filters, etc? Air pumps dont really work like water pumps, so you don't have to worry about the air loosing air flow the higher it pumps. They lose pressure when there is resistance...

What about a pair of Hydor Evolution 1400's? About $50 each. Pump 1400gph each. I havent seen many Hydor magnums around.

Beautiful tank Chen! Loved the fact that i have been along for the ride since you set it up. Jaw dropping the whole way threw!

you can zoom in yes... but not move it around. For $30 more, you can get the one with night vision.

This one: http://www.thesource.ca/estore/product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=WirelessNetwork&product=2513249 Will do the same thing, at half the price. I had it. Worked great. Fantastic video quality. You can log into it from any computer, phone, wireless device, etc...

From what i can tell, the hiblow 20 has an air flow of 20lpm... If it can handle your tank, depends on the height of your tank, and how many airstones your looking to run. I'd say it would run 4 good sized air stones no problem on that tank though. If your tank is not too tall that is.

Beautiful tank! Quiet ones are typically load out of the box. I find they almost always are. A few weeks later, they become silent.

Welcome King-eL!

what would the sump look like? Is that what you mean?

ok, so in a power outage situation, around 15 gallons will drain from the main tank. This mean, out of the 90 gallons of sump volume you have, you can use around 75gallons of it. So you can run that sump with 75 gallons in it at all times if needed. So if you went with a fluidized bed, you...

What are the dimensions of the 500? I would first want to make sure a 90 gal would be enough, for when the pump shuts off. This will also help in deciding what style sump you can have with the 90gal.

Im completely sold, and probably bias to fluidized beds at this point, so that will always be at the top of my list... next up is a wet/dry. Or Trickle tower... same thing. Both are very easy to build, and very easy to set up. So i dont think your really going to need help in designing...

very nice so far! Looks like they are using a thicker acrylic on this tank as well.

what style sump do you want?
