Scott, that looks great!  What sort of fish go in there later on?  Interesting thread going here!

Thanks barb, I have been thinking of doing dragon blood cichlids. Some of them have incredible markings. And a higher ph isn't a problem for them.

I know a guy that is breeding them that lives near me. he actually breeds a lot of African cichlids,  http://www.boesterscichlids.com/
I have heard if you want to make money selling African's around here the trick is to breed something that Rick doesn't have. My personal opinion is he's another GCCA breeder that is full of him self, But he does have some nice fish.

LOL...Rick is just Rick...and he's one of the few that are actually willing to share all they have learned too....a little aloft...??....well, maybe....     and yep, he does have good fish too...

I need to find a return pump for the filter. I think I might have a problem. I should of been thinking about the size of a pump. I have  2.25" of clearance between the background and the back of the tank. If needed I can modify the background but that's going to mean redoing the cement. I could probably get another 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch out of it. I'm just not sure what to do about it.

Small power head?.....I may have one here someplace, if you want to try it..??

[b125killer]

That could work, I don't think I would need much just something to move the water, and fit the spot I have for it. I will still have a small sponge filter in it too.

I've got a bucket 'O Powerheads.
Come on over and grab one.

Very nice Scott

[Mugwump]

..got it in water yet?...

[b125killer]

Thanks JR, Nope I still need to take it outside and wash the loose cement off. Also need to stop by your home and pick up a power head.
Thanks For the offer Bill. I would love to take a trip to get a power head from you but it's a long drive for a power head.

[b125killer]

Thanks Jon, The power head I got from Jon will work nicely. I did find another problem, as I was washing the background some of the weaker spots in the cement started to wash off. That's ok I can build it up with more cement. It's better to find these things out now not when the tanks full of water and fish. 

[Mugwump]

Great....   I was hoping that it wasn't too big, or powerful....??

[b125killer]

even if it's too powerful the way I have the return it shouldn't be a problem.
