lmk what yall think

[myjohnson]

i like it Brian. Work on the scape some. Get some smaller brown rocks and it should look more natural. You also want to set something that catches the eye a little left or right of center.

i was thinking of a few smaller brown rocks to the left, and as far as an eye catcher i was thinking a good sized tiger lotus to the left surrounded by a few small brown rocks.
watcha think?

[newb]

what type of powerhead setup do you have on the left side of the tank? do you have a sponge attachment on it?

[TaTeR ToT]

aquaclear 70 powerhead with pre-filter(400GPH)
i also just added an oddysea 350 powerhead with pre-filter, to the other side.

on my 75g i have 2x oddysea 350 powerheads with pre-filters.

they just automatically make the air bubble like that? I have two different powerheads(different brands) and they do that. that looks awesome.

[TaTeR ToT]

all powerheads come with an air line tube that has a air diffuser, it is a little adjustable cap, which sucks the desired amount of air through it, and diffuses it into the output of the powerhead. its called a 'Venturi Effect'.

btw, what did your girl say about the geo?

[newb]

I think I can work something out with you, but I want it gone if its gonna go pretty quick so I can go get more red severums before they are get sold at Fish Ranch. he only has like 3 left.

I would not call the Frontosa aggressive compared to the others that are in the tank.
