Hi everyone, new here.
I don't have monster fish but I will in the future. Planning to build a large tank/pond type setup in my basement. this year. Should be a fun project.
I currently have two tanks, a 47 gallon column tank which is tied into a 130 gallon tank. I use an old 55 gallon sump that I built myself with pond pumps to return water back to the two tanks.
I also use marineland emporer 400 HOB filters just for that extra filtration that keeps me comfortable. I believe in over filtration even though I keep up with my water changes. I find that the combination of the HOB with the overflows feeding the sump keeps my tanks in tip top shape.
I have no interest in salt water at this time but have not completely dismissed it. I just find that I am very happy with the variety of freshwater species out there.
I keep several types of crayfish along with african cichlids and synodontis catfish. I will post a few pics in my intro thread below.
