How should I set up my intake and returns? Returns on the sides and intake in the middle?

[eklikewhoa]

I run return/intake on each corner... one canister per side, overflow return i the center.

[cu0ngsayz]

I'm not Baller like you Q I only have one canister. But yeas basically what I have down. Thanks

Dude 2262 and a PC300 is more than enough for a 150g.

[eklikewhoa]

What is the definition of "more than enough"?

[cu0ngsayz]

How much purigen would I need if I wanna run it?

What is the definition of "more than enough"?

Hahaha nothing is ever enough for Q lol

[aggrofishkeeper]

Enough that the tank is crystal clear water. Nitrates are going to be there no matter what and the only thing that can get nitrate to a suitable level is water changes. There's no need for 2 Eheim 2262s and a wet/dry that is rated for a 300g. But by all means if money grows on trees for you and you like over doing stuff, more power to you.

What about oxygenation, o2 levels, circulation, adequate flow to turn over the water to come into contact with the water surface to expel co2, stocking levels that vary from tank to tank, metabolism brought on by surges of water movement, the ammonia/nitrites that are present before we are able to test it or between test(filter turnover rate would have this come into contact more ofter and faster with filtration), the split of beneficial bacteria estate amongst multiple filters instead of putting all your eggs in one basket....etc.

and to correct your statement, there are means of nitrAte removal outside of water changes.... guess what it would be considered as... FILTRATION!

Also, some eheim classics are rated up to 100g, would you run just a 2217 on your 100g full of trophs?

Fish Inch per gallon
Wattage per gallon
Filtration gallon rates

an ac110 is rated for 60-110g.

Then again many successful hobbyist have provided great husbandry with basic sponge filters and only 10 fish in the colony.

There are many ways to approach this, as far as a "need to" that's up to the person. There's no definite amount denoted as "enough" my friend.

[cu0ngsayz]

Everything aside. How much purigen would I need for the filter?

[New_Cichlid11]

i run 2 2260 on each side and overflow, if it was you i would set intake one corner and return in the other along with powerheads
