Ive been wanting to do this for quite awhile, setting a tank up like the ponds in the trop.
Over the last year, i have been getting what i needed to do this CHEEP. Oh ya Sammie is a Severe Macaw (a non stop ball of motion) and the set up will be in her room. As i go i will keep a running tab of the costs.

The 50gal on the floor is a "junk tank", what happens in there happens. Ive been filling it with the water out of my main tank, a 50gal breeder, and if the Turn Over doesnt work it will be the sump for that tank.
