| Posted | what equipment do i need for my tank |
| 03-07-2006 19:43 by jakem |
hi sorry for all the silly questions.
right what do i need for my tank? eg filters and heaters etc my tank is 5ftx3ftx2ft and its 886 litres i think or some where near that 180 gallons i think cheers jake |

Eheim 2080 minimum, or 2, 2028's.I would go for the 2 personally, that way, you can carryout maintanence easier on your filters, you would need 2 heaters also, 300 watt, or 3 200w, what ever your preferance, you will probably need a couple of 700 lt/hr powerheads for extra circulation, and finally I would have a couple of 12-18" bubble curtains running off 2 400lt/hr air pumps.
Hope that helps, that is what I would use, I am sure I have missed something but others will also advise. Cheers |

i would use 2 fluval fx5 or an eheim 2250 bucket filter two/three 300 watt heaters,
on a tank that size id think about using a fluidised bed filter |

I'd agree with darren use the fx5 |

what i was going to use was a fluval 3 internal filter, a external that does 80 gallon and a rena xp3.
i was going to use 2 300 watts heaters and 3 or 4 3ft tubes does that sound good? |
| 03-07-2006 20:25 by kevin george |
yep u can always improve on what u got later thats what i do |

Most people seem to think that the Fx5 is the one, just surfing through EBAY, Here you go.
