Nice dottyback! I used to own 1 but this fellow terrorised new additions to the tank that i have to remove him. Got a hard time catching it though. Hope yours is not that aggressive :D

Looks like most of your fishes from SL too. :D

Din know the LTA tang got such nice colours :yeah:

The LTA tang in live aquaria nicer. And so far it is keeping the splendid dottyback quiet. So no problem.

Hi all,

I really admire of everyone engineer's mind to have a DIY sump tank. Can some one teach me how to bulid one?

I am learning how to bulid the flow of water mechanisms. How to let the water from my main tank flow back to sump tank and how to let the water flow back to main tank?

What to use? Pump? How to connect?

My tank do not have a pipe connection underneath. I intend to use a overhang pipe method. Is it possible to connect to sump tank? Will it over flow?

Thanks

U will need a DIY overflow piping since no overfolw in ur main tank. But i suggest u use a canister better since the tank is not an overflow tank.
