Poseidons Tube Tower Fw Tank

Check valves are brutal for back pressure better if there is any way to mount the air pump above the water level with as little hose as possible. I have a few dual line air pumps even bnib

Even better advice, only no one really wants it visible, plus they can be noisy, so a lot of people try and hide them. Guess it is a lesser of two evils situation.

So if this tank is in the basement. What about putting the air pump in the living room upstairs. Lol. Reverse the basement sump idea. I was actually thinking you should have drilled low and direct into the UG system very short run of air line

Is there room inside that black canopy or a small corner shelf on the wall hidden by the canopy?

The canopy sits flush with the stop, I am considering re doing it, to allow it to slide down a few inches, that way I can hide a small bag of carbon, as well as a heater , and maybe I can possibly incorporate a shelf on the back or something for the pump....
Hmmm

Or I just get a power ful enough pump that i can put it on the floor haha

I'd turn that into a Jelly Fish Tank.

Bandon, why not give Jerry a call at the store in Brantford, closeout sale - he will have what you need I bet and probably cheap - just a thought

Thanks sunny and everyone else, I'm going to grab one off of Rob.


I added more fish today.
Everyone is healthy- eating and happy

4 fancy guppies, 2 platys, 1 angel ( small) will take him out in the future if he gets too large. And 1 Pleco.
I think that's almost all , I might ad 1 or 2 more platys but that's about it

Tubs doing great, had some fresh water ick, but just did a 3 day furan treatment and everyone looks happy and healthy no casualties !

I also added two Chinese LED bulbs, which came with remotes and change colour on several different settings.
Awessssommmmeeee

 

[Poseidon]

I always have it set on a slow fade in between all the colours , really calming, I love it.
Feed the fish pellets every other day, top off with 1 cup a water ever other week, 5 gal water change once a month. So flipping easy haha
