Aquatic Research Technologies Tank

[BoCoMo]

I just bought a 70 gallon Aquatic Research Technologies tank. My camera is MIA so I have posted some of the pics that were sent to me by the seller. (I will post better pics when I find my camera) It has a built in filtration system and I'm pretty excited about setting it up. Unfortunately I have no experience with this type of filter setup. There is basically no information about this company or these tanks to be found using google.

Does anyone have one of these tanks currently set up? If so, would you be able to provide a pic of the back of your tank with an explanation of the filter setup? This would be a huge help.

Whenever I find my camera I will take a pic of the back of mine so that I can get some help filling in the blanks.

Any information on these tanks or how to set up these filters would be appreciated greatly! Thanks!

Is that a built-in overflow? SWEET. Plug the damn thing in.

Thanks! I wish i could just plug it in. When I got it there was no media balls, foam prefilter or anything. All I have is a pump to recirculate the water back into the tank and a bunch of empty sections waiting for the correct media.

Would you be able to provide a pic of the back of your tank with an explanation of the filter setup? This would be a huge help. As soon as I find my camera I will take a pic of the back but if someone else has this set up maybe they could explain without the pic.

I know I will need to buy the media and foam filter but I am not sure what each of these chambers is supposed to contain.

(I will be adding an inline UV sterilizer to the pumps outflow when going back into the tank)

Thanks again.

That tank looks pretty nice. Thats cool with the o-flow built in! I'm sure somebody can tell you what the best media is for that monster & where it goes. I would have no idea. Post some pics.

I know, I know! If I don't find my camera tomorrow I may just go out an buy a replacement... I'm pretty stoked about getting it set up!

Ok. Finally found the camera! (in couch cushions) Here is the back of the tank. Aside from a good cleaning what does this baby need? I am missing the first small egg crate section as well as the top large section and the drip plate (any suggestions on where to get these?) But what goes where? Thanks!

I may be getting a 150 gallon tank like this too. I am going to have to figure this out sooner or later.
