It comes with an internal sump, called "Dutch Aquarium System". Lots of room to play with. I'm also adding two Eheims and a few powerheads to move water.

Did you get a male or a female from John?
could you post a picture of the that filtration system?

I'm curious how it's built in
 
Damn Peter that tank is awesome! I've seen the Notatus in person at the wet spot and they are stunning!!! Your going to love the colors on them. I am planning on picking up a couple there myself. Gratz!
 
Looks a little heavier than the the 220g.....:headbang2

Will do when I figure out how it works myself :D. I may be wrong, but I think they came up with the original wet-dry.

There are four big compartments for filtration, and a few smaller compartments for protein skimmer and nitrate removal stuff that I won't use. Return goes through some hidden PVC pipes.

They pulled the extra male from the store, but the two pairs were shipped from Cichlid Exchange directly :) They are a bit roughed up atm. Will post pics in a few days.

They are going into a new tank I just bought. Big THANKS to Ken for helping me move it. You guys should see the way he drove a 14" U-haul ....I couldn't keep up!!


Probably because you drive a prius


lol nice tank, it's going to look great with fish and everything in it. Have you decided on lighting? You could suspend two 4 foot T5HO fixtures over it, which would look nice and be bright enough.

LOL yeah, that and I was down to my last bar of gas. Didn't want Ken to come back to get me so I was "sliding" most of the time until I found a gas station.

The lights I have now don't look very good. Too weak. Any specific recommendations? Need to keep the top nice and clean, and the wife happy.

nice peter. is everyone pretty much going in there? too bad my box didnt come with any free fish lol

Most of my SAs that are big enough are going in there :) Uruguay fish are going to stay in a 90g though. Speaking of, I'm getting something super cool in a few days :naughty:
