using my spare 2ft tank as a sump...thought it was a great idea, but the medias were too heavy the whole base cracked and i had to mop the floor....sofa got wet and arhhhh, wat a mess...

DIY overflow box system, had a hard time trying to figure out the physics of water transfer and got it right at last...cement everything myself, cant sleep for the first few nights afraid that there will be leaks and i will wake up in a swimming pool of fish water while my having a tank of dry fishes.

some sample of how the inside look like, transparent tubing sucking water from different levels in the tank.

Is it a silver aro with 2 pairs of eyes???hmm, not realli, it seems like it is protecting a new born baby!!gosh, its my silver dollar!!! sad but i managed to save the poor soul from his mouth, careless dropped it onto the tank base, and it got eaten by my ray...what a day...

this is a system i wanted to try out, floating tank in the air...physics states that water will remain in the enclosed overhead tube while balancing the water levels in both tanks. interesting? u may want to try it out, on a smaller scale of cause.

my red crayfish...nice bright red, but it got head deformaties after a poor moulding session. died after that. my female white crayfish, lost some arms after fighting with her boyfriend.

female, see the 2 patches at the 3rd last pair of legs? male will be located at the last pair if i m not wrong.

her boyfriend...

my lovely silver making a u-turn. look at that body shine...polished it with car wax..

dun get tired looking at his body.

a pro picture taken by a bro from arofan.

undisturbed finage.

picts of my aro and his home.

male red clarkii...abit hard to see from here. love the redness...

white crayfish climbing on my media, not realli pure white, more like milk.

looks like jelly...

my OHF, alittle noisy so i did some modifications, but messy, took them off in the end.

version 1 of my DIY overflow box system...rubber tubing kind of messy and unsightly. cementing the joints of an elbow tubing.

a simple concept of overflow system...many diff forms though. the external box for water to flow down to the sump.

a big picture.

another look.

how it looks inside.

my old filtration.
