Wow, so many nice setups I almost didn't post.
OK here's my humble setup. DIY 2' x 8' UGF feeding a Little Giant MD-5C pump to twin 2.5" x 10" simple cartridge filters (20 Micron) plumbed in parallel to an inline Heater and back to the top of the tank thru a DIY spray bar. Cheap and simple. All the equipment is housed outside in a cabinet on the exterior wall behind the tank. Gotta love a temperate climate

Thats cool. Its a hyper powered UGF ? Badass. Any more details or pics ?
 
Here's my 140 that is still a work in progress. Just got the FX5 yesterday and me being the dumbass that I am, forgot to measure to see if the FX5 would fit under my stand. Of course it didn't but I think it still worked out ok. As you can see the tank is about 3.5 feet from my bed, and after the first night I am impressed with how quiet it is compared to the xp3 and 2 AC70s I had on it before.

Thanks guys. It actually came with the tank second hand so I don't know where the guy got it from. The brand is Geometric and there is a Canadian flag beside it so I assume it's a Canadian company. I love the looks of it and it is extremely sturdy.

Yeah that stand is beautiful. Very classy. Its a shame the FX5 would not fit in the middle, it would look awesome and very clean.
 
just pick up a 125gal tank, stand, filter and everything the other day for $150, ill have to post picks as soon as i get it up and going, ive been doing some resealing on the tank because the build date on the tank is 1985, also i got with it a eheim 2017 canister these filters were suppose to be discontinued back in the 80s amazingly it still works fine, i noticed that the impellor shaft is 2 pieces kinda wierd, anyone know why it has a 2 piece impellor shaft instead of a solid shaft? could i replace the shaft with a solid shaft for a 2217, ive heard that it is basically the same filter.
