    3ft glass tank with 5 black acrylic perforated deviders, 3 smaller heaters, 1 in every 2nd chamber. Filter either a sump or a canister

    The deviders black so the males dont see each other and flare themself to death.

    Very nice , maybe think of replacing all those heaters with an canister inline heater or heater in the sump, there is some nice homemade ideas aswell but very keen to see your setup when its done .

    I was thinking of using a larger heater in the sump. I am leaning towards a sump with this setup. Will post some pics when i build it i just built a 2ft breeding tank.
