what kind of filtratio do you use???

2 fluval 404's.

that a good amount of filtration...probably instead of upgrading the pump i should just add another canister...

Yeah having 2 intakes on either side really does help.

 

[mr.cichlid]

hmmm...searching for some used filters...hopefully i find one...new ones cost too much

I used Uunder Gravel Jets too.

When I did my rescape, I put all my rocks on eggcrate with legs. ie all the rocks are raised off the bottom so there is a load of flow going beneath them. Basically, everything falls through the rocks to the sand, then the UGJ blows them into my filter. It's great, I love UGJ systems, they are worth doing for sure.

Your tank looks amazing, apart from the turtles. The jets looks superb, I only went for less in my tank as I wanted them to be more powerful.

This is it with all the front rock stripped away:
