Yea. I might put it off and set up the marine. I want to do a 3 gallon one lol. So i mean that would be fairly cheap. Make me happy long enough to get the money to finish this one.

Well, I was so interested i forgot to say okay. Iv been sitting here this entire time reading, And the funny thing is: I dont even got the basics yet.

By the way: Think I should get another maxi-jet 400? I got mine running down the front glass to the other end of the tank. But the entire back side of the tank, Especially at the end without a powerhead stays a waste filled dead spot. And the screen on my emperor 400 is filling up with gunk. Should I take the guppy out for a while and use the powerhead to push the gunk into the filter?

Went to lowes. Spent $6 and came up with a 21 foot long vaccuum. One end in bathtub (1/2") after 20 foot of 1/2" it snugly fits into a 3/4" tube thats a foot long for a head. Works great. Vaccuumed my display with it and did a WC on it and my snail tank already. Changed the tanks water flow. Less dead spots. Im going to try to get a bigger powerhead for the other end, Since the rock stops alot of water flow i figure itll give some circulation in that area as well. Also after the plants get bigger they will stop a lot of flow.

Yeah. It's just a good idea to have lots of flow. That's a really good idea for siphon! I am going to get a longer one for my reef.

Yeah, I kind of figured the flow was a good idea. And as for the siphon comment. Im pretty much king of DIY once i understand the basics of what im using. Kind of tempted to change my stocking list however. This is becoming a far bigger hassle than i thought it would be. Kind of lost on what I would want to get though. Defenitly not putting 11 DP's in the tank.

No money for SW for 1. For 2: Waaay to much research for me to do right now. And its nothing wrong with the F8's, Its just everything I need I have a huge issue with getting. Nobody stocks anything quality, Thats my problem. I mean this entire time iv had the tank going etc. I cant get my hands on even a hydrometer.
