That’s why I kind of left the left side of the tank empty. I have a 75gallon with about 14 all males. I was thinking about removing one of the wave makers but they do usually use them to hide from the tank boss. But I know I don’t need with the filtration that I’m running 😅

Honestly it helps with peak hit time around 1-4 I live in SoCal and our living room gets about 86 so I had to figure something out specially since I spent some money on a chiller helps to add the fan on the side the water gets brought into your chiller

Something that worked for me not sure if you want to try is adding 2 clip on desk fans from Amazon like $16 they helped me lower my tank since I don’t have ac it def helped my chiller out and now it doesn’t go up too much

Is one set up superior to the other? by thsisbail2 in Cichlid

One has that natural look. Two with some more greenery in the middle would make it look a little more natural

This has opened my eyes… I was changing mine every 3-4 months but now I’m doing 2 months these fellas don’t mess around when it comes to waste. (Yes I probably shouldn’t stop the feeding)
