hell yeah lol you know me well but one step at a time! From plain nice tanks to tree frogs to sump and then what? Reef tanks? Would need to buy a new house, one for us, another for the hobby lol

Will go look at that tank i was talking about tomorrow, if not good, then will order.

14" deep -too small to play around, right?

What do you mean by use substrate as a filter? How? Im not exactly sure how im going to do it yet, my understanding: water output - run down to the pond - back to the pump that is located in the opposite side of tank - tube - back to square one. Wrong?


I got a gift from my other half yesterday - waterfall black foam like great stuff but black, he was sooo proud of himself, that thing was like 20$ bit much i must say, but oh well, wont refuse lol

don't you dare become a stinking reefer!! LOL

14" is kind of tough to create a real sense of depth, but it can be done.

ok, the substrate as a filter thing: the pump pushes the water to a starting point, the water runs through a channel to a pond. if you build the substrate up around the pond, the water needs to pass through the substrate to circulate back to the pump, hence being filtered, just like a natural water table. simple really

that pond foam is neat, but highly over priced in my opinion. but cool that the other half bought you a gift for the new tank!!!

Bill,
can you please explain for challenged people what you just wrote lol like 2+2 type of thing lol like how can you build substrate around pond that would work like a filter. I do understand pump to the starting point part though and running down to the pond thing too, but then it should go back to the pump under false bottom. So where the heck is a substrate? I feel so dumb right now lol

This started out ......... very entertaining.
Now, I'm anxious and nervous for Lija- this is a lot of pressure.
Now I have Queen lyrics banging around in my head.
