My son's +_ 30L triangle tank

My son kept on bugging me "I also want a fish tank" so this is what I came up with
something unusual.
So it started with a little 2ft tank I had lying around

 

Cool looking! It's really tall and I like it!
What equipment are you going to put in it?

 

I'm not done yet,it going to have a internal filter in with all the media. I am just deciding should I make it work lie a waterfall
and pump it in from the bottom or blow out from the bottom an make it work like the internal filters in the tank.



Equiptment: In the filter
250L/h AquaVia power head
Filter floss
ceramic rings
sponge

50 Watt heater
going for silica as substrate
and airstone in the filter

The black mark on the strip at the back is where i want to install the power head...

 

Need help I am building an internal filter is it a good idea to put under-gravel filter under the internal filter or is it better
to make an opening above the gravel?

 

For once I would say that an Undergavel filter might not be a bad idea - the volume of the filter at the back isnt very big,so the added filtration that the UG will provide,will come in handy... just remember that for an UG to be realy effective,the gravel layer needs to be a good 2 inches deep...

 

Thanks azurekoi but it's too late I'f already stuck everything I am going for the internal filter with all filter media




The pump is lose so I can put the media in and the put the pump back.

 

Some updates on the tank




My son and his tank.

 

Thats actualt pretty cool @Willem - certainly a "off the wall" tank - reminds me of a 50's Diner ... School of Noens dining at the Tetra Take away...lol

 

Thanks @azurekoi just wish I can find somebody that is going to krugersdorp's side to pick up the fish for this tank
can't get there otherwise I loose them.
