Basically, it's a standard 29G tank, filtered by an aquaclear 300 (new 70?) with its intake hooked up to a hydrosponge. There's also a 300gph powerhead hooked up to a spraybar to add a little extra current. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pics during the set up process, but I tried to stir up the sand a bit and most of the plumbing is still fairly visible with the tank fully set up.
I apologize in advance for the photography
On the right is the where the intake for the aquaclear enters the tank, with the spraybar jutted up against the bottom.
Here's a different angle. You can see part of the plumbing that hooks the sponge up to the aquaclear at the bottom of the sponge, and the powerhead that operates the spraybar nestled in behind.
A better view of the powerhead and hydrosponge.
The spraybar with 2 airstones situated right underneath.
I'm not really sure if this serves any practical purpose, more than it would to put them anywhere else in the tank, but it lets me know that the spraybar is actually working.
This tank was meant for the zebs I was to be getting from Germany, but I think for now I'll put my two subadults in here. I've still got to make some caves and add a few more pieces of decoration, but it's cycled and ready to house them pretty much as is. Let me know what you think

). The best thing I've found for fry is to keep them in a fry trap suspended in a larger tank. This way you don't have to worry about the little guys hurting themselves on heaters/ filters etc. and it also means that food is concentrated in a smaller space, meaning the fry get more to eat. Barbie's set up is particularly nice, although somewhat beyond most of our abilities. It might give you some ideas though. Here's the link:
If you want, let me know and I'll see if I can take some pics.
