Quote: Bubble stones suck!!!!! (Use a spray bar better for your fish) :)

About Yourself: I have been keeping fish and turtles for many years, I have two turtles who live in 75 gallon tank everything is custom, I even designed and built the filter for it, do not have to do water changes for at least 6 months and only do so to clean algae, other than that the water is crystal clear at all times, and I have two (one very large) very happy turtles.

Great tank setup. Looks a lot bigger than a 20 gal. tank. I definitely agree with your filtration methods but how is the question. No changes for 6 months? What tpe of canisters do you use? Again, great tank.

Very creative! Beautiful setup! There might be something you can coat the silk plants in to keep them from fraying... some kind of plastic or sealant, maybe. Don't know what would be fish-friendly, but it's just a thought.

It does look a lot bigger than 20 g. Nice job

looks like your craft store plants are a hit...the silk will deteriorate and you'll get little threads all over the tank eventually. but very very nice looking tank.

Sand works great, unlike rocks fish waste and food does not get trapped in it, so no need to vacuum the tank, just have good water circulation and it will blow the waste off the bottom.
