29 gal grow out
4 sengal bicher 6 inch , 3 small angles ,1 large , 1 rapheal catfish and a single 8-9 inch fire eel .

filters a [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]EHEIM LIBERTY 2040 and a home made 2 l air powerd filter :headbang2:ROFL:
[/SIZE][/FONT]
 
heres my best setup
all it needs is a bigger pump and a uv
:)

overflows the side
then to a drip plate
then to a/c filter padding,2 layers
then the next level is felt
then down to more felt
"all that is about 5g"
then to bio balls "5g of those" half in water,half out
then through the 2" tube down to the 2nd filter
bottom filter
another drip plate
then to 7g of bio balls in the bio box
then to about 10g of bio balls underwater,under the bio box
then to scrubbies and sponges about 7g of those
2 bags of carbon
then through 2" thick sponge
then pump and heater
"those gallons are just media not the actual sumps gallons"
