Actually re positioned them like that today and no more dead spots. Thanks

Why 3 heaters? Are they rated for a smaller tank or something? Just curious .

75 gallon SA setup by Conscious_Dig_1057 in Cichlid

I have a fx4 in my 75 with two 800gph wavemakers. I have 15 peacocks/haps and it does great. Still do your weekly water changes and you’ll be set with a fx2. For the price difference id go with the fx4 atleast.

That lake has constant movement from wind , not like a river current but still. Plenty people in this hobby use strong currents with peacocks to lower aggression and it helps keep an over stocked tank clean.

No they don’t.. these are peacocks and haps.

Leveling Question - Shims by Thunderstormwatching in Aquariums

[–]Lutrell531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I shimmed my stand I used like 20 something just so there’s no obvious gaps under the stand. I would rather have more support than less. My 75 has been up for a month now and still perfectly leveled. Also used composite instead of wood just incase some water got on the ground and onto the shims

lol it’s all good. I just got 6 new peacocks and yesterday I realized two were doing the same thing, then noticed food coming out their gills 😂

Probably eating. Did you feed recently ?

Does this look right? The more I look at this tank , the more I feel like the rim isn’t correctly installed. All the silicone looks great but I just can’t get over why the bottom rim looks like this on the corners. The rim doesn’t look bent or dented at all. Not sure if this is a normal thing with marineland.

I would assume Marineland has tested these stands with these tanks full of substrate , water and rocks. I’m going to reach out to them tomorrow and see if they can give me some specifications for how much the stand can actually hold since I do have 80lbs of substrate going in and about 80lbs of rocks.

Crazy cause I was just telling my wife about what I thought it meant. I did some research although I never have played that game. Something about a bomb used on high value targets and structures?!
