I used about an inch of topsoil with about an inch of gravel on top and amended the soil with 8 cups of oyster shell. Added a gravel overlayer. Let it sit overnight, then changed out most of the water. It has two Penguin powerheads each pushing 170 gallons per hour through a foam prefilter. 100 watts of 6500K compact fluorescent light inside reflectors from the clamp on worklights... mounted on pvc and hung from the ceiling with chain and it's sitting in front of south windows.
