Thx rust9000, no atfs in there. 5 minutes before I shot those pics I had just moved them out of a spare 60g that I had to free up for my arapaima.

Here they are with their old roomates. They will darken up within an hour.

Thx Loubard

simple, ugly, but effective.

This one has a large filter bag with charcoal, then foam, charcoal pad, 150 bio balls, couple pieces of lace rock. The key for this filter is there is no standing water in the unit.

Current stock levels in this tank may be pushing the bio media capacity so today I am setting up another 5g container with pads & lava rock which will be fed by one of the 1000 gph pumps.
