Posted	advice on filtration
10-08-2006 19:31 by theplumber	Ive just purchased a new aquarium 510 litres 112.1 gallons I need some advice on the best external filter system to get. Any ideas would be welcome cheers !
10-08-2006 20:04 by wayne	A SUMP YOU CANT GO WRONG
10-08-2006 20:55 by Jake Casson	Depends on what fish you'll be keeping?? I would go for a couple of the biggest eheims or poss 2 of the fluval VX5s (no where near as good as eheims but may be worth a look-feedback please....?) You can never have too much....
10-08-2006 21:14 by Lexter	surely you dont need TWO powerful externals for a 510 litre tank??? I know what you mean Jake, cant have too much, but thats not a MASSIVE tank is it, 510 litres, surely one really good filter would be ok????
10-08-2006 21:16 by kevin george	i have fx5 works well and i have ehiem which are really good
10-08-2006 21:21 by Lexter	aren't there any externals that do a big tank??? i know having two is a good luxery coz if one breaks down etc, but i was assuming you could get one for a big tank, well 510 litres aint that big i guess, surely there is an eheim that would do the job?
10-08-2006 21:25 by kevin george	2217 ehiem turns over 65-70 gallons an hour
10-08-2006 21:34 by Jake Casson	All depends on the fish. A big eheim bucket would do it as would a fluval fx5 for small fishes
10-08-2006 21:36 by Jake Casson	A 2217 would be way too small aven though its the biggest in the eheim classic range.
10-08-2006 21:44 by kevin george	i have fx5 on my 4x2x2 and works ok but ehiem r slightly better
10-08-2006 22:07 by Lexter	Kev - do you rate Eheim better than fx5 ?
10-08-2006 22:10 by wayne	LOOK ON THREAD WAYNE
10-08-2006 22:17 by kevin george	ehiem r more reliable and parts r always available
11-08-2006 08:31 by theplumber	Im thinking of building a sump system does anybody know of any self build sites for plans ect..
11-08-2006 20:51 by scotty	ehiem pro3 cracking external filter i run a 400l tank on mine.
11-08-2006 22:31 by Danny Boy	i have a pro 3 and its wicked they handle 300 gallons though. 110 gallon tank that plumbver has means most external filters will do the job. persoanlly i prefer eheim but fluval are cheap just get one that will cover the amount of water you need to filter its simple
13-08-2006 18:18 by theplumber	thanx for info Ive decided on two eheim 2026 also Its for a lion fish setv up
