As of right now the only filter on it is a Bio-wheel 350 but I have an Ehiem 2026 canister filter being shipped to me as we speak. The substrate is a mix of 50 lbs of silica sand and 35 lbs of pea gravel. As soon as I saw that piece of driftwood I had to have it I might of over paid for it but I think it was well worth it. And finally the fish I was thinking of where a couple of Salvini cichlids definitely, and something along the line of an Jack Dempsey, Firemouths, or a Green Texas but I'm open for suggestions.
I have a Jack Dempsey and a Texas Both are beautiful but those blue jacks are really something. I also have a salvini who is a real cool fish and very colorful and does great with the tex and the jack
