got the white tubing for the air, can run 12 individual air lines, just need some suggestions on pond pumps, make and model would be great.

thinking of partitioning a couple of the tanks, not sure whether to do one or two, any other ideas you guys have would be great, cheers
Love the enthusiasm, mate, really getting into the swing of things now. Planning the next big show tank already, haha. Not F1's, by the way, never bought wild-caught fish. Your Tropheops Higga Reef's and labeotropheus trewavasae higga reef's sound amazing, though. Would be up for a swap with some of mine when they're breeding. Let me know where you're based, we can sort something out.

I'm in the same boat, no driving for me, so posting is my only option, local fish shops never seem to get the species I'm after, like Saulosi or Flavus.
