That's a nice setup, great video. I plan on getting one in a few years, haven't decided on a smooth fronted or cuviers yet.

At least a 125 gallon tank for keeping one of these guys right? Your filtration is inadequate in my opinion, 2 pounds of ceramic filter media pr 25 gallons of water for optimal water quality (cheap pond stuff from amazon is just fine), I would a diy HMF filter 20ppi (coarse) with a 400 gallons per hour return pump, this can all be done very easily and a lot cheaper then all of these off the shelf internal filters of which do very little for the water quality, amonia, nitrite and nitrate. Dont take this comment as an insult please

For this setup, the filtration is good. This is just a 55gal aquarium temporary enclosure (1 50 gal filter and 1 20gal filter). But I recommend at the very least 100gal, but only up til a year. This one was just temporary, I put her back in her bigger outdoor enclosure, you can see in another video.

How would you know the filtration is inadequate without testing his levels?
