Big Tank questionnaire

[eklikewhoa]

30 would be perfect

Trying to find rocks big enough to make it fill the area would be limited so I think the height of my tank now is damn near perfect which is 24" tall. The depth would really make the scape.

[eklikewhoa]

Do 28" tall.

24" is too short for awesome scape.

Here's a tank with similar dimensions I plan to get... tell me the 24" height is too short on this one...

If We all get a big tank like we dream of im pretty sure we could find a way to scape it. Might have to put our thinking caps on but theres allways a way to do it somehow!!

[SunnyHouTX]

My custom, hopefully soon, will be 8'x3'x2'. then find a used 125g to use as a sump. vortechs all the way

Would love to have that as my main tank.

As for filtration, get the tank drilled do you can run 3 Eheim canisters packed with bio media and three layers of bonded filter pad. Big wet/dry is a must.

[eklikewhoa]

3x 2217s?

Those are rated for 159g each.

[aggrofishkeeper]

On a 375g I think you would need the 3 2262s. A 50g wet/dry would be good.

My filter plans would be 2 fx5, and a 36 watt turbo twist uv light pushed by a and big pump in the tank. 300 gal tank would get 150 gal water changes every other week. Clean fresh water=happy fishies!

[aggrofishkeeper]

1 2262 for every 100g of water.

[eklikewhoa]

but but... 3x2217s @ 159 = 477gal worth of filtration.

[SunnyHouTX]

Sorry meant to say 2260/2262 :o

[SunnyHouTX]

No use for a UV sterilizer.

[crazy42bmx]

Why u say no Uv?

[eklikewhoa]

but UV will kill all the bad things that come out the butt and float around in the water.

Makes the water free of all aliens and storm troopers.

Why u say no Uv?

Yes, enlighten us Sunny.
