What is the filtration and heating method you used? Lighting?

For now I have an FX5 filtering the tank, as the fish get bigger I'll upgrade, next I am getting a pump and setting up a spray bar on the left side of the tank to have a river effect towards the right side where the filter intake is so most of the debris should be blown to the intake. Heating I am using a JBJ TrueTemp 1000w heater, I don't need this big of a heater (only turns on for about an hour every 36 hours). Lighting is just the 48" light that came with my 80 gallon tank and the 30" light that came with my 30 gallon tank.
nice build i would like do do something like that some day as for right now i just have a tun of tanks i have 2 110, 55, 40 breeder, 20 tall, 10, and a 5 hex. my 110 have severum in it all kinds (green, gold, and red). my 55 has a pair of uaru in it my 40 i have a breeding pair of green severum my 20 is a breeding pair of young jd's. my 10 and 5 are my hospital tanks but some of my fish are to big for them so im needing a larger ones for it. im looking forward to my fish getting bigger my largest fish are the uaru and there like 10 inches. your lucky to be able to that set up.
Wow that is alot of tanks! The most tanks I've ever had going at once is 3, and that was too much for me... Having one big tank is sooooo much easier imo, I do less maintenance on this tank than any other tank I've ever had. I really like Severms when they reach maturity, very nice fish! I had six baby JD's with three Green Terrors in my 80 gallon growing out for my 4 hundy, JD's are spectacular when they get older. Best of luck to you in your future setups 
Dude!!!! Absolutely EPIC. This tank is amazing, I've been working it through my brain on a big tank and I think you have me sold on plywood. I am curious, working at a mine south of e-town is it forestburg? I'm in camrose and would gladly buy ya a beer sometime to share your knowledge.

I'd recommend plywood tanks to anyone, very easy! Yeah the mine is Paintearth Mine just south of Forestburg, I actually live in Stettler so I guess I'm about 45 min south of ya! Sounds like a solid plan, if your ever down this way your more than welcome to swing by and check out the tank! I can tell you everything you need to know!Very nice fish Maximum! Really liking them Severms!
Grant your plywood tank rules. If i could build something that looked as nice as that i would! Mine would surely be ghetto and leak badly
