Would love to see what kind of filtration you're running on this thing ^^. If is not too much trouble

sure thing man! i'll post pics in a bit

4 chambers, 1 mechanical/bio (Fishing nets, jap mats and sponges) , 2 biological (lava rock etc., and boxes of K1) and the last is the return with UV sterilizer and heaters pretty simple but does the job each chamber is around more or less 100 gallons

it is integrated at the back of the whole tank or "built-in" so to speak.

oh and i also run a aquaponics system as i grow pothos to combat the nitrates.

I also have a drip system.

lastly, i've got lilies floating over my 2nd chamber

see that cinderblock at the top right of the far end corner of my tank? thats meant to hold the pipings down as they would shoot up in the air without it due to immense pressure
