On the bottom right is a small heater, back left corner (brownish thing behind thermometer) is a wooden air stone, and now have an ammonia badge in front. I have the bubbles adjusted so there is a gentle flow longways in the tank. I can post a pic from the top but I have several of these tanks side by side on a shelf (so I can't get a pic of the front)
