Well it took forever but I finally finished my filtration.
I'm running dual 1 1/4" Durso Standpipes draining into the wet dry, from the pump I'm running 1" ID tubing to a ball valve then split to dual 3/4" modular pipes.
The wet / dry is a 29 gallon tank, with drip tray, filter floss and 60 pot scrubbies. I'm using a Pondmaster 2400gph pump and you'll notice I had to cut up a AC110 sponge to set it on to keep it from vibrating too much. I plan on adding more scrubbies to the bottom left section of the tank, just another 40 or so to help out.
It's been cycling for about a week even though I used 50 gallons of water and filter media from two HOB filters. I've done several water changes though so I imagine thats why it's taking so long.
I still need to make my canopy and glass lids, as well as finish the decorations.. I just threw a couple pots in for the native fish that I'm using to cycle the tank.
Lighting consists of a dual 48" T8 shop lights with cheap Lowes Sunlight 32w bulbs, I plan on switching to powerglo's once I get the the canopy done though.
Stocking list will consist of my fire eel, red wolf fish, 2 senegals and a rope fish. I will probably add something else as that will be way understocked but I'll burn that bridge when I find something else that intrigues me..
Anyway, enjoy the pics

Cycling a tank is like waiting for a pot to boil.
