Pygmy setups

I was just wanting to know if some of the members here could post some pictures of thier setups. I know i saw one with PVC tubes. I am goin to be buying some soon(like 2 months), but i want to make sure i do it right the first time. The main thing i want to see it the drainage. I have a good site that shows a two layer setup of hydroton and charcoal. how important is this?

thanks justin
 
Here is my setup in a 10 gallon aquarium-has worked out well for 7 months now-I would only put 3 pygs in this size! It is composed of a layer of hydroton, topped with a layer of activated aquarium charcoal, topped with coconut fiber mixed with a little sand-all separated with screen.

coconut fiber is available in many pet store that carry reptiles.
They come like a brick.
You submerge in the water and voila! it grows into mulch.

Too bad you don't live nearby.
I have plenty that i can give to you if you want to pick it up.
I have no use for them.
