Here's a link so you can see how it looks from the rear
Obviously, it's a much smaller tank, but the setup is pretty much the same on all sizes

this is what mine looks like from the overflow....picture 1 is the first chamber which contains the prefilter(white 3x24 wrapped in filter floss)my heater and on the other side of the prefilter is the intake from my magnum 350(carbon filter)
picture 2 is the second chamber which contains the return from the carbon filter and my thermometer
picture 3 is the biochamber with drip tray in place
pictures 4 5 and 6 show the drip tray removed so you can get an idea of the biochamber underneath and the black cup down the far side which just holds some backup filter floss, for extra bio in case i need to set up a tank on short notice
the extra hoses in picture 1 are for the airstones
I also run 2 xp3's whcih go over the overflow gate in chamber 1 directly into the tank (since thats the only place these tanks have access)

pic7Very nice!! That looks great, kinda makes what I have going look way under par. I like the idea of the two canister's I think I will do the same. Thanks for the inspiration.
I got food poisoning yesterday and did not have a chance to take pics of my setup, but I will get some up tonight when I get home from work. Thanks again for the pics, they really helped me out deciding my next move with my tank.
Btw Your tank looks amazing I love that DW. Buford looks great! JD's have so much personality...I have two in a tank next to my bed. I sometimes loose a lot of sleep watching their antics.

No problem. Feel free to shoot me a pm with any questions involving the tank. Take care!!And thanks for the compliments!!
Sorry for the long break guys, there's been a few new developments as of late, that are totally non-tank related. But I do have Pics of the tank with water in it and a few clown loaches; the tank does look a little different now. I have added some sand and a cave. This will be a growout tank for my loaches once I've got the 195g up and running so right now it is housing my Tig and Fire eel. I relocated the loaches to my 20g for the time being to ensure they didn't become snacks and possibly death for my Tig. I will upload more recent pics of the tank tonight. Thanks for your patience.
Btw the really big fish in the last two pics are my son who just couldn't resist jumping in the shot. More pics soon...

How observant of you Justin, that is a 3D BG on top of that tank
, that's the BG for the 195g. I've gone through so many changes with that tank we got it all together and then realized the FX5's wont fit through the doors of the stand so the stand is being redone to make bigger doors. If I had the know how I would do it myself. And yes this tank is screaming for a BG I look at it everyday and it makes me cringe, definitely need a slimline BG and I'm poised to get one in the weeks to come. I have my eye on a couple at DBN just trying to save up for the purchase. No worries...I'm on it
.As for the kid, he's trying to prove to me that he can make it on the Disney Channel wants an agent and everything. He's been trying to perform in every play or skit at school and church to prove that he has gotten over his stage fright. He's a mess but he's my mess and I love him dearly. So agent it is..
