Finally finished my move to a bigger home yesterday and used most of today to finally get my 325g cycling! I’m super excited, I put so much thought and planning into this.
The tank is filtered by, firstly, a 75g sump/wetdry with 12 gallons of bio balls and lots of other mechanical and biological filtration. Not to mention a 250 gallon nitrate reactor to make the time in between water changes more enjoyable for the fish. The water is then pumped through a 1500 gallon pond canister filter/Uv sterilizer and finally back into the tank.
The pump is currently circulating the water through the filter at 2800-3100 gallons per hour, so the fish should be quite healthy and happy.
To make it energy efficient I have R-17 insulation underneath, behind, on the side, and on the back of the top of the tank. I also have insulation on almost all the tubing to really keep it as efficient as I can. I’ll be insulating the filter soon as well to prevent heat loss from that.
Now I just have the wood soaking and a few other pieces of decor coming in the mail!

What you planning on housing in it? Love the filtration setup, nice and clean.
