Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

you need a much much more powerful pump than that, unless you make a roaring river flow through your sump

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Hmmm but I don't want to spend any more money on equipment!! Maybe I will plan on setting up the closed loop system in the future. I just bought four Koralias for flow, and those things are expensive as hell. Hopefully that will be good enough for now.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

holy Biff. You suck rocks AND eggs. How did you score such a deal? I have such tank envy, (Moderated). What are you going to stock in that beast!!! Probably not going to put in Pomocanthus angelfish, huh? Now I have to go find thrift stores to score my own deal. dammit.

Basically, I am jealous.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

I got it at my LFS! They were selling it for $600 because it needed so much work, but they like me there, so they gave it to me for $100 AND delivered it to my house for me!!

You boys just try and keep up with the ol' Biffmeister...
