9 gallon Pyrex cylinder tank filtration setup help/ideas

[JDnKY]

I got this Pyrex cylinder from a friend, it holds approximately 9 galons (23.5 inches tall and 11 inches across ID) and I thought might make a cool aquarium. I was thinking maybe an Anemone and couple of clowns or something small and peaceful. I’m not sure how I would go about building an overflow for it or what kind of filtration system to use. So my question is, what would you put in it and how would you built it out? Filtration? Light? Inhabitants? I realize the glass isn’t perfect and the round shape will distort the view a little.

Please excuse the mess, just cleaned it and it’s sitting on the floor in front of a workbench.

You can’t put anemones and clowns in that “tank”. It’s way too small.
What about HOB filter

Not sure how well a HOB filter would sit on it. I do have a canister filter that could work. It’s a single compartment type, which media would you use? What inhabitants would you put in it? I would l0ve some sea horses but after reading about them I don’t think an animal that only lives a year is what I want.

Haha I hadn’t even thought of that. I really would like to do something with this cylinder.

I thought about that but live out in the country so my surroundings are all plants and greenery. Guess I could go with tropical plants, don’t have any of those around here.

You could do mosses and local plants easy.
