I would use an under gravel filter and small to medium sized rocks. Add a few pieces of driftwood and a larger rock or two and your PS will love it. The under gravel filtration is very efficient and easy to clean up.
hey travis

I currently have 3 pumpkinseeds, 2 bluegill and 2 redbreast sunfish in a 125 gallon aquarium along a few other game fish. They are rather easy to care for. My sunfish are small, between 1.5" and 3" in length. They will grow quite large though. I fee…

Since then, I'…
AWESOME question! Pop-up is the main bite early and I call that a "lift".
If you have proper gear- your float will (( lift )) slightly up in the water.
The reason I talk about sensitivity in a setup is that fish eject their food all day long. Somet…
Is that cricket PINK?????? Greg, the lengths you have gone to fashion a cricket for a flyrod. I must apologize. I should have told you you could use REAL crickets on a flyrod. # 10 hook, single "B" sinker, small float, rollcast. I've read Shooter's…
