Ok - it was new when I got it from glass cages in Feb 2014 but it has taken me a while to get it running. Starting with sister in the floor joists etc...I'm by no means finished but some of my stock are in, the cycling is done and the purigen is clearing the tannins nicely. This is not a drilled tank. I plumped three separate loops and painted the pipes black. The ins and out make for a river manifold type set up with most of the current low in the tank. Quitter up top. This is what is running so far:
1 of 2 Eheim 2262 (1500xl) canister filters
1 media filter pseudo DIY made from a Geo reef 420 reactor filled with purigen
A temporary Eheim pro canister that I moved from another tank to help with cycling
1 air Air Force 15 in line air pump
1 Aqqeon 900 circulation pump
Next to connect:
DIY auto drip to eliminate weekly WCs
Apex Jr
Second Eheim 2262
FSI x100 inline sock filter with separate blueline pump
Eheim heater
Current stock:
4 silver barbs left from cycling
Black Jar
3 dats
14" sailfin pleco
Geophagus
With two other tanks of pbass etc. waiting to move
Here are some pics I took along the way
