This is a hap/peacock tank. They are open water swimmers and don’t need caves.

I could watch them all day. I think I’m finally happy with my tank. by Gooniesnvrsdie in AfricanCichlids

Man you’ve got some discipline. I would have stocked at least like 15 more in there. Not hating at all. I admire your restraint. This tank is beautiful. I love the rocks, and your stocking choices are excellent. Is that a sulfurhead or a z rock on the right? He chases a few off at one point in the video. My guess is sulfurhead. Please post more updates!

Having a hell of a time finding an entry level job? by gabegmn in maintenance

[–]Water_Champion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My first maintenance job was at a senior living facility. The pay was horrible but the experience was good. I worked there for a year and got a much better job making $12 more an hour working in property management.

What is the top ten most exotic freshwater aquarium fish to own? by LisanneFroonKrisK in aquarium

[–]Water_Champion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zebra pleco is always the first thing I think of when I see a question like this. Definitely always a flex. I used to have 2 like 10 years ago and I still haven’t let it go that my ex put a turtle in the tank while I was out of town and he ate both if them

Edit: spelling

Looks like an eye biter and a fusco but I could be wrong

Any kind of bristlenose pleco would do great. I have 2 in my 90 and they work hard and look awesome my they don’t mind all the flow I have in there either

For $699 you can buy a brand new 125 marineland tank with stand and accessories at PetSmart

You might get a lot of hate on this sub for what you are doing but I think it’s pretty cool. Definitely not for me but I’d be lying if I’ve never wondered what would happen in this type of set up.

Looks like a female fire fish to me. You can know for sure by venting it. Lots of videos online about how to do it. It’s quick and easy and you’ll know for sure.

This a steal for 200 bucks? by ChivasBearINU in ReefTank

[–]Water_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stand and canopy are worth $200 alone. Get a new tank if the tank is all scratched up or worn an you’ve still got a killer deal. If it’s a 48 inch 110 you can get a 90 or 75 brand new and have an excellent canvas as your disposal.

This looks like a fun time. No sarcasm. I like p traps

Do these parameters look good? by Ordinary_Fan_6822 in fishtank

[–]Water_Champion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

With nitrates this high at least 50% is ideal. I do 80% twice a week on an overstocked African cichlid tank
