Hello all,
I apologize as I am sure if I searched long enoughi would be able to find this information, but I don't have much time to do research. I am wanting to get back into fish keeping, and I would like to make my filtration system myself. I want to make a canister setup. I am not sure about the exact size of the tank I am getting, or the fish I will be keeping, but I have enough of an idea to start gettiny plans ready for this project. I want my tank to be between 100 and 150 gallons, and I would like to flow at least five times the contents of the tank per hour. So, around ,5-700 gpm. The setup must be relatively quiet, and I would like to make it easy enough to perform maintenance and cleaning without much difficulty. I am a mechanic by trade, so I'm sure I can pull it off, but I'd just like some insight from those who have done this themselves. Any links to write ups would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
