To explain the picture, the black box on top is a 5000 gal KOI Pond environmental filter. It provides a home and structure for the beneficial bacteria to grow and flourish. They feed on ammonia & nitrates from the fish. As the water travels through oxygen is added to the water too. The White box underneath is a Penguin Chiller, it's fantastic, it can keep the water in my 300 gal tank (summer tank) at 65 degrees effortlessly. The pump is a simple pond pump sold at Lowes along with the hose. A dual output air pump and supplemental air stones add extra oxygen so my shiners are very "Frisky". The shiners like the Shad Keeper additive in the water too.
