I have multiple forms of filtration. First I have 2 ehiem 2262s that dump into a wet/dry tower that dumps into a 110 gallon "dump" sump. Then I also have a laguna 4280 that runs into a trickle tower that is setup strictly as mechanical.
I do a 40-60% wc every 7-10 days as a minimum. Often I'll do that and if I know I will be sitting in front of the tank for a while I will do a 30% change or so. I feed mostly NLS but I have recently began feeding some southern delight as I can get it in bulk as well but at a cheaper price so I supplement with that to lighten the costs. I know I could feed an aquaculture pellet and cheapen it far more but I can't bring myself to it. The southern delight is a far better pellet now than it use to be and although the quality certainly doesn't match NLS, it's still acceptable in my eyes. I also occasionally feed tilapia or red wrigglers as a treat.
For heat I have 6 jäger 300. I will upgrade soon to a 1000 watt titanium heater w/ a controller. But this summer my tank room has stayed at around 76-78 degrees so I don't have to heat it very much. My temp is a steady 82 degrees and the heaters don't run often at all once the water is up to temp after a waterchange. The concrete tank does an incredible job keeping the temperature stabile.

devastating. I did weigh and measure him at 19 1/8 inches and 3.86 lbs if my memory recalls correctly. R.I.P. Big guy.
