Here is my current setup a 55 gallon tank with a oscar and a pleco, i got a Whisper Ex70 Hob and a Tetra Whisper Power 60 Hob filter along with a diy Trickle Filter with a Catalina Aquarium 4000 pump pushing the water back into the tank at approx 800 gph.

I figure realistically i am turning over the tank 22 times an hour which i plan on taking out both the hob's for maybe 2 Ac 110's or i might even go another way with it and run some canisters on it not sure yet though only time will tell. But here is a video as well as some pictures of my oscar.

My Pleco was hiding in the ship wreck decor i have as it always is enless its feeding time and my oscar rides the current of my directional return spout like its a slide or something hopefully i can catch him in the act of it when i got my phone on me its kind of funny imo.

I plan on getting it all tied up here soon and making it look better and i will have the diy setup behind the tank or when i make a stand underneath it all i need to remake my pvc siphon as well and the next one will probably be painted and all that to make it look a little bit better i just wanted to test it for a while to see how it would end up doing so all is good.

But none the less here's a video not that good of quality as i shot it with my phone. but hopefully you all enjoy thanks for looking

Very nice setup you got there, Wish I had that much turn over for my tank. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you i still got a lot of work to do should be pretty nice when i get it all done i just gotta get some free time to do some of it lol but thanks and yeah its easier to get those kind of turn overs when the tank is smaller lol. trickle system cost me about 70 bucks all together and does a pretty good job, thanks for looking :D
