    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...
