Parts list:

Sponge Filter

Air Pump

2.5 gallon tank

Very interesting Chi, can you report on sys stability as you go along? If it's not too critical it would be a good idea to market this as appeal fits in with the average home.

[Adam Shivers]

nice! did you use water or media from another system to help it cycle?

[Chi Ma]

I used the Hydroton from my outdoor fish tank.

[Adam Shivers]
