trav Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 :w00t: hi, hope i have this in the right place, as I'm new to the site. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong is there a LFS in Edmonton area that sell Buffalo Head Cichlids (Steatocranus sasuarius) I have a 75 gallon to fill, and would like to breed them if possible and have some questions, I will be attaching it to 2 other 75 gallons, that would be for some thing else not sure what yet? I have a ratty 100gallon to use as a filter, is it better to make a Refugium with plants or a wet & dry? OR is there some thing better? I much rather have the best filter to give the best quality of life. Also i need some rock for decor any info you could throw my way would be appreciated thanks :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much rather have the best filter to give the best quality of life. what do you mean by Attaching it to 2 other 75 gallons? your having all 3 75 gallon tanks drain into the 100 gallon "sump"? if that is the case how will you keep all 3 water levels even without overfilling one and underfilling the others? as for the wetdry/refugium i have seen most people put dividers in the sump and have 3 parts one refugium one full of scrunchies and other full of filtercloth (check the DIY section) as for getting in buffaloheads if you are coming to edmonton on friday i believe henry at natures corner is doing another great spencer jack order and spencer has buffalo heads among many other great fish on his list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trav Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 i would be using 3 tanks with over flows (so i could pump each tank separately)which would syphon in to the 100 gallon sump, but i have to finish the basement first,so I'll have time to do some home work ,right know I'm getting ready to set up a basic 75 gallon upstairs so i don't know if the tank wouldn't be ready by the weekend but I'll be there in two weeks I'll check out natures corner while I'm there thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
