I would want to get some sort of drip tray in there. The debris will eventually bypass the filter media that way it is currently setup. Great build though. Looks good.
Be careful with your cycling, i had 30 goldfish in a new setup paddling pool to cycle it before my big cats went in, the goldfish went through it all fine. But still had a big nitrite spike when i introduced the large fish. lost a rtc, perruno and silver aro.
yeah i usually move too fast with the cycling but im going to take my time, i did go get the pacus from the LFS today though, i figured it cant be no worse then three 16" plus pacus in a 40g tank so we'll see what happpens
the rtc and oscars are definitely not going in for a bit more, ive been through too much with the oscars after saving them from HITH last year and the rtc, well its a rtc
