filtering a 220

whats the real problem with your filter is the tank not filtering?

oh i see use an fluval fx5 I use 2 of them on my 240 but you only need one really it will do up to a 400 gallon tank and filters 607 gallons an hour

A DIY wet/dry is the easiest and most cost effect method IMO. I say easiest because of how simple it is to clean. You can also hide equipment, store extra media, modify, and increase the total system volume.

You also don't have to be as concerned with flow rates. I usually turn my tanks over 3x per hour. A lot of people will argue that the mechanical filtration is lacking, but if the returns are positioned correctly, I find it to be the exact opposite.

no pics of that sorry but just type it in google fluval fx5 go to images its one of the best and I've had eheim canisters and all that good stuff but the best cycle and filtration I ever got was from these bad boys trust me you cant go wrong and very very easy to setup anyone with half a brain can do it

Over flows are really really simple once you see one in action. Other than that, a pump is all you need! There is more initial work on a wet/dry, but it's totally worth it.
