Sumps on puffer tanks?

Do you prefer sumps or canister filters on your puffer tanks?. I've always used canister filters but now going to run a 400 us gallon tank so leaning towards a sump. Any ideas or input would be more than welcome, maybe sump set ups or personal experiences in these set ups. I will still Hoover out th...

Re: Mabu tank?

Yeah I can fit the second measurement tank in, but that's the biggest tank I can house.
Will it be fair to put a mabu in there or should I give up on my mabu dream?.

Mabu tank?

Hello all, quick question.
Would a L84xH30xW30 or maybe if I can a L84xH30xW36 tank be ok to keep a mabu in with some community fish, not decided what other fish yet.
Always wanted to look after a mabu and would get the little 1 as a baby.
Please any thoughts or suggestions.
Thank you.

can i put dp with saps

Hello id like to no if you can keep saps and dp together.
My tank is 140 litres with 2 saps and lots of plants.
Id only want a few but was hoping they would help with cleaning up between the plants so food dont lay in dead spots.

Re: Frozen Food Traning for DP

try a bit of cotton or fishing line with a little prawn or anything like that tied to it, move it around your self or tie it out side the tank so it moves around in your return flow.
if he goes for it then he might just like it and take to it with out the line.
