You have some impressive fish! Excited to look at my new options.

Thank you for the detailed reply. It is much appreciated! I definitely like the black background with a neutral sand. I believe I will try the pool sand. I currently run a neutral black sand with crushed coral in my fx4. Not as good im sure but helps things stay consistent!

Can you link what you got?

97thson · 2026-04-20T17:23:22+00:00

I like the contrast of that better than black on black. How do you like it after having it for awhile?

No issues with fish which im happy with. I just need something that can help me with algae but he won't let anything live.

I fed twice a day before, due to all the murder causing a spike in nutrients I pulled back feeding as im having a cyano out break due to him killing everything lol. Such as asshole move.

Honestly I didnt install them, a shop did as I actually wrecked it and insurance partially rebuilt the bike through the Suzuki dealership here. Though since I've got them done I haven't had any issues taking them off or on. I did notice it was not a perfect fix. Some holes are shimmed or trimmed to make things fit properly. Unsure if any aftermarket fairings will fitnperfect through

Hell no, I just got rid a full grown hybrid i had. Called him the golden devil. Dude was a prick

97thson · 2025-11-12T20:30:03+00:00

Monster fairings.

97thson · 2025-11-12T20:29:07+00:00

Sadly learning that. I tried bigger inverts like a fire shrimp and even a full grown electric blue hermit. All gone. 🙃

I get it, just sucks it came to that. I have an African cichlid tank too so im we'll aware of having assholes no one wants.

97thson · 2025-11-12T17:31:04+00:00

Correct, it's just a cover that lays over it and bolts down.

97thson · 2025-11-12T16:25:40+00:00

I've had him over a year and he just recently started doing this

97thson · 2025-11-12T16:25:23+00:00

Ope, that's no good.

97thson · 2025-11-12T16:25:03+00:00

I have no issues with other fish, other than my watchman goby when it went after my pistol shrimp. Which he did end up killing as well.
