No problem, have to share the good and bad so we can all learn how to build better monster tanks.

I think the loach is about 8-10 years old. Not really sure.



Thanks for the time you spent on the documentation, and for the PDF. Very helpful to those of us gathering information/learning. Love that huge clown loach, how old is he?

This tanks is amazing! Do you ever have any problems with your flagtails fighting? Because I have one and everyone told me you had to keep them separated or they would kill each other.

last but not least , have u had any issues with back washing, clogging, or media clumping up ? do u think its worth spending the extra money on this particular brand ?
