    You running a spray bar type return? Or what's the pipe running along the top of the tank?

    Save yourself the headaches now, get a ball valve on the sump intake line

    The tank is at my shop in Brighton Sq, Kraaifontein. Pm me and I will give you my no.

    Just aded two Green Terrors, and it looks like the Oscar has taken too the smallest one.... Looks like they are to fast for him and there is a couple of hiding places so...

    aded a jumbo Anubias, jumbo Java Fern and some Vallisneria for good measure. It seems if my big Oscar and all the other diggers are ok with the plants. Maybe time will tell but it is a start..
