My aquarium is build into the wall. The backside of the aquarium is in a closet, via another bedroom, that belongs to my Great Danes. I have a 75 gallon closed loop system. I have had it up a little over a year. We have added a 30 gallon sump underneath the aquarium. I have 4 T5 lights. d2mini, I will take some shots of all of my equipment and try to post tonite. I have had the flowerpot about 4 months. From what I have read, they say do not put flowerpots on the sand, but he seems to thrive in that location, so that is where he will stay. Thank you everyone for you kind comments.
