Other media basket has Matrix by Seachem and filter floss on top
As far as PS goes, that's a Tunze 9004.

I'm thinking of getting the same tank. How do you like it?

I really love the tank, it's really well built and sturdy. I am going to miss it once its gone

 

[Hawain_Rob]

Gone?

 

[Brian Kim]

no no, I still have it, upgrading to a 180 gal soon then will probably break it down

That why I don't want to get the jbj 45. I feel I'll want a bigger tank soon after I get one. I think I just need to get a 90 gallon.

I think it happens to most people here, we always want to go bigger!

so we decided to keep our jbj 45 and just put the new tank in the basement. Took some time this weekend to replace some rocks and redo the aquascaping. Still need to move things around but here's a quick video of its current state.

Didn't really like that look too much so I've decided to move things around a bit. Created 2 islands with a couple bridges connecting them, also made enough room behind both islands for the fishes to swim

Brian - can you provide some more detailed pictures of the screen you created? I am trying to figure out the best way to build a screen as I hate the look of the glass panels that came with the tank. Had a goby jump out the other night so now it is a must to get a screen setup.

The problem that I see to having it sit inside the glass is how to deal with the curved front edges without leaving a large gap.

It should cover pretty much the entire top if you measure it correctly.

That's a nice tank. I have a 14 gallon biocube. I love the tank, but I need something bigger. So I decided to dedicate the 14g to zoo's and palys.
