no doubt... I would also recommend you start with something you don't care for when it dies. It's going to take that filter a while to get going strong.

Maybe in the end a ratio of 2 inches of fish per gallon? Maybe 5 inches of fish per gallon... I know a lot say 1 inch per but.......

I have a smaller tank setup now with an AC110 filter and a nice green sunfish that I have eating pellets. I'm planning on taking all the sand and filter media and putting it in the 360 to speed things up.

I've got one last thing to do on the plumbing and my finishing it this Friday. A buddy is coming over to help me shape a piece of 1.5" flex pvc. They are flexible but not so much in tight areas. My plan with the drift wood didn't workout as planned but I found an awesome piece today while fishing with my son. It's approximately 2'x4'. I might have to trim it down a little to get it in the aquarium. Hopefully it will be full of water this weekend.

Man Fitz, I will never grow old of looking at pics of your tank!! I have had fish tanks since I was a young boy. Started with simple goldfish and natives I caught in creeks. Then advanced to South American cichlids and other store bought fish. Even did some African cichlids for a time. That was years ago and I have not had an aquarium in awhile...but been wanting one (still have some empty tanks sitting in a garage)! I subscribe to some YouTube channels about the aquarium hobby so I still have a strong interest in it. I live in a very small apartment now and I don't have the room to do a real tank. But I saw the below video this weekend and thought...this I can do (The guy is kinda annoying but he does have a cool idea). I have a 10 gallon sitting around. I think I'll clean it and head to some of the local creeks to start setting it up and stocking it. I know a 10 gallon won't hold much, but to start again and to participate in the hobby, I think I'll do a simple native landscaped tank (plants and substrate from creek) and add a few small ditch minnows, a small crawdad or two and a few freshwater ghost shrimp.

Ran into a few leaks in the plumbing and I haven't had time to fix them. Hopefully it will be running soon.
