What media are you running in those 3 cans?

All full of ehiem substrat pro, one sponge in the ecco and fluval, I plan on using the canisters for mostly biological and the AC 110 all mechanical (sponges/ floss) hopefully this way I can dramatically reduce my canister maintenance. I may get rid of the ecco and fluval in the future.

I dont see a fluval in there? Do you have one too ? :headbang2Rock on with that 2180 thats ultimate badass status.
 
Just took a few pictures of my setup. I need to remove some of the plumbing that went to the ugj system and I need to install the FX5 that should be here tomorrow. I want to redo the pvc spraybars on top of the drip plate as well. Other than that I am almost finished with it.

Goddamn that is so beast low cel. Drools. I cant wait to get my monster. So you went for the FX5 :)

Nice reactor BTW I think my pair might be here tommorow ! (the 2lF) I cant get the monster ones for my hundies that would be far and beyond overkill madness. How is your water quality it looks stunning from the small part I can see...

The only thing I would suggest is some of the high quality sound dampening material we line our ductwork with. In my experience that type of fiberglass can collect dust and take up extra room or even make dust that is semi toxic to humans I dont know its affect on fish. The stuff we use is also used on speakers and is fairly inexpensive with a trade license. Just a suggestion it may get you some more room down there :)

What about the 300+ people ?
 
BTW I am not getting the AC 110 because i think the mechanical filtration sucks per the reviews of the 2080. I found that with my experience, if I turn the flow down on the initial set up and let let crap build up in the filter, the mechanical preforms very, very well. I only added the AC110's to minimize maintence. IMO massive biological media/ filtration is more important to break down organic wastes than mechanical removal.
