Small breeding/secondary tank

[kiwibrick]

So we have some Honey Gourami in our community tank (55gal) and the male is determined to build bubble nests and try and coerce a female or 2 to deposit eggs,

I have gotten to feel really sorry for the little guy so I have dug out my old 20ish gallon tank that I built many many years ago and am setting it up in the computer room to put the Gourami in.

I used to run a HOB filter on it but I have decided to build a small triangular trickle filter tank to sit on one side of the tank which will be mostly hidden.

I took out one of the corner panels of the tank and cut it shorter so I could have a weir overflow into the filter tank, unfortunately there isn't enough room in the filter tank for the heater so that will have to go in the tank itself.

I am going to plumb the return into an undergravel jet system to try and keep the muck in suspension but to not have too much turbulence in the tank.

I built the framework for the stand on the weekend, just need to cut up and paint some mdf to make it look pretty.
