Ok so think I am going to go with an ug filter. Want to start getting my supplies list. Really want to keep this project under 200$. Want to get at least partially started soon. Figure I can put in the filter and cover it with the gravel. Then decide later which powerhead to attach. Can run the setu...

With the ug filter is water moving one way?

Forgive my lack of complete understanding but just want to understand. On one of the up takes I can attach a powerhead and on an uptake on the other side I can attach a sponge filter. Powerhead will suck water from the sponge filter and that current will go underneath the undergravel filter. Then wa...

Just a thought since I already had the pump Really don't want to go bigger then 20l

Would a mag pump work. Got one I bought awhile Ago that i never used. Would 350gph be too strong In a 20long

Thanks for all that info. Lol even more unsure of what to do. Alot to process. How do undergravel filters work? Are they hard to clean. What size powerheads. Would a under gravel filter create single direction flow

Recently got 8 panda loaches. Want to set up a river manifold for them. The biggest I can go is a 20 long. So my first question is a 20 long big enough to do a manifold. How hard is it to do. I am extremely unhandy when it comes to projects. Would I be able to do it? For a 20 long would I still do t...

Thanks for the links. Just order the Amazonas issue. Hopefully they give some good info. What is everybody feeding them. Using omega 1 veggie rounds. Gave them some live black worms last night and they went crazy for then. Just wondering how often to give them meaty food

So they are actually part of the hillstream family?

How do you have yours setup? What temp? What have you been feeding them. Do you have a link to that article? Haven't come across that one yet. Totally fascinated by these guys. Want to know everything

So about a month ago I found 8 little panda loaches at the lfs. Put them in a 10g with some cherry shrimp and wcm. Keeping temp at around 68 and a bit of flow. Feeding them omega 1 veggie rounds. They go crazy for them. Wondering if anybody here has had them. They are fascinating little guys but ver...

My zebra loach is growing a strange lump on both sides of her neck. Started small a couple of months ago and they are getting bigger. Was under skin but now seems to be growing thru. She doesn't act distressed. In fact she is the dominant loach in the school. She also has had the same full stomach e...
