30g Tropheus Chibongbong

For the first two weeks I started the tank I did daily water changes, now I'm down to twice weekly, about 80-90% each time.

Probably pretty easy with that small of a tank.

I think he has to refill what evaporates twice a week in that little tank, and he calls it a 90% WC

Yeah it is but when I had all the 6fters I would do 90-100% wc twice weekly and it wasn't that much of a hassle either. 1" tubing drains a 6ft tank and mere minutes.

LoL! 90% at a single draining and not an accumulative number.

Yea I gotta up grade my draining techniques Lol

Very true. I need to go to HD and get some 1" PVC hose. I bet getting the siphon going is a chore. A 2L coke bottle won't work like how Kiko does. Maybe something bigger like an inner tube...

It wasn't too bad when you had mag12s laying around... a nice pair of lungs will get it going too as long as the hose is lower than the water level.

Maybe I just need to mod the FX5 like some ppl do. Thanks a lot Q.

[eklikewhoa]

That'll work too! use the drain from the 2262 which is a beast and it'll flood your house in no time! Idunno what the FX5 uses though.

[SunnyHouTX]

It flows just as much as a 2262. I like the way you think man.

jeeze only Q would manage to breed Trophs in a 30, I think you just like seeing stuff breed. Like when you got all those guppies, or a pair of convicts just because, u remember that?

If it has QD's you could just get the opposing side to hook to your drain and it'll instant siphon once you open them back up.

I do like seeing things work where others say it would not! I have mollies breeding or having babies in the sump of this tank! )

The convict breeding in a bucket thing was really all shietsandgiggles though. LoL!

[SunnyHouTX]

Wow...








That's all I can say about the convicts in a bucket.

[eklikewhoa]

It was beast! 5g bucket about thirds full... only airpump running it but got a lot of water changes. Think there might be an old thread somewhere with the details.
