Tank and stand look awesome. I don't believe I've seen one like that before. Looks clean. What sort of lights/filtration are you running?

thanks dude, i was at a friends parents place and i saw it in their dining room quarter full with brown water, couple months later visited again and saw it the same so asked if i could buy it, $500 bucks with a light, heater, and internal eheim sponge filter.

the heater died pretty much instantly and the light bulb was broken so i just picked up one of those full spectrum type lights from a local pet shop.

the filtration is now a eheim 2215 canister filter.

i did have the redsea turbo bio c02 system, but the pump broke after 2 or three weeks use, and we had an issue of too much pressure so the yeast sugar mixture spewed into the tank.

then i had issues of not enough pressure.

i think im going to just save my coins and get a proper gas bottle injection system as even though the redsea system wasent working for the most part, it did have an impact on the growth rate of the plants.
