Thanx Kai..... I have some of my bichirs in there temporarily..... the left side will be for all my platinum bichirs & the right will be my pleco tank......

The overflows connect to a 55 gallon drum which is 85% filled with water which will be a moving bed k3 "reactor"..... the remaining 8"s or so are filled with pads for the mechanical part..........the water then flows into a bio tower with sintered glass which is inside a 150gallon acrylic sump underneath the stand..... I will be adding 8 LARGE pathos plants in the sump (hydroponics style) with 3watt LEDs 65000k running 12 hours a day..... still work in progress.......

Sweet. Talk about filtration i need to upgrade my filtration hahaha. Hmm I never heard of sintered glass before. Prob expensive!

As kha said. updates on the polys

DDD and the other tank if its still up

Damn Franc, soo many nice things! You'll grow to love the pothos, currently attempting to get mine to grow into a tower-tree shape for now haha

Thank you all for the kind words. I have not left the bichir game..... I actually now have more fish than I know what to do with... My big bichirs are temporarily being housed in two 200 gallon 36" wide tanks. I have to say.... they hate it in there as they were accustomed to a longer tank...... and have had a couple of suicide jumps despite the heavy lids.

I have decided to setup a 540 gallon tank 8' × 3' × 3' with stocking surrounding my bichirs.

Stock: BICHIRS
SUPER SHORT BODY ARO
SILVER DOLLARS (MOSTLY SP. GREENS)
A FEW SELECT MONSTER PLECOS: LUTEUS, L25 7POINTER, BLUE EYES, TITANICUS, L24, L282, L600, ETC.

HOPEFULLY SETUP & RUNNING SOMETIME IN AUGUST.

All of my platinum bichirs are doing well. Hopefully I will be able to add them to the 540 in a few years. Bwahahahahaha....
