AW! thank you! both of you.

I love my tank, i post and post and post but don't get many responses..

i have not put allot money in to it..most of the plants were bought in small clumps and grown out or traded for
spend a little on filters, but all the deco was collected by me...play sand. its cheap as cheap can be..

I have recently upgraded my lights as well, every thing was growing in under about .5 wpg...now its at 1 wpg

Im thinking of adding two of these guys..they were offered to me for free.
If they can get along with the sculpin.
Purple spotted gudgeon..they are kinda like sleeper gobies.

Update with out pics
I think my camera is dieing!!!

anyway,

I have two HOB filters running on this tank,
i started with on Marineland 50, with 200 gph
and..an unknown old filter rated for a 20 gallon tank
I ran across great sale for a Penn-Plax Cascade 300 for 35$ rated for 100 gallons

so now i have the Cascade 300, at 100 gallons of filtration @ 300gph
and the Marineland bio wheel rated for 50 gallons @ 200gph

lol so my filtration for my 20 gallon high is 150 gallons at 500 gph
..i think i have enough filtration.
the filters are located on the sides of the tank as well it gives allot of nice movement with out making whirlpools.

The tank is under stocked...with the one large sculpin about 6 inches and shes almost full grown, the two smaller sculpin around 3 inches, and an assortment of feeders at any given time.

in two weeks i might be adding two purple spotted gudgeon, witch will call for another rescaping.
Not sure about the gudgeon with the cooler temps in the tank though, it ranged from about 67-74o

..so maybe a video is about due ^_^.
oops said 20 gallon..its a 40
