Cichlids of the Americas had some around 5 inches

No they are captive bred juvis,and yeah I have a divider built already.

Thanks.Honestly I just liked the look,saw Lee Nuttall do it with a few of his tanks.

Figured I would kind of re introduce myself,I joined a few years back.I never really posted a whole lot but saw the forum has upgraded and decided to start posting again.Here is my 150 gallon tank,its a 5x2x2,I had originally started out with a group of small red tiger motas,but had a power...

Why not add another 2262 packed with filter floss or a Fluval fx6?

Nice I have the 2262.Definitely one of the best filters you can own.

I have a 48" on a 60" tank and its plenty for me,I like the subdued look.

I have from bottom to top,4 l eheim ehfimech,20 ppi foam,30 ppi foam,then 8 liters of matrix.Works fine for me.The 2262 holds so much its kind of hard to go wrong unless your a complete idiot.

Aquaterras backgrounds are a stiff foam,it would be very difficult to wrap them around an overflow,you would have to just put the background in front of them.Your best bet would be to get a flexible background from universal rocks,they will wrap around them quite easily.

Buy another one to supplement it?Need some more info on tank size and what exactly your trying to accomplish and your lighting needs.

https://greatwaveeng.com/the-greatwave-store-at-koten-en/ They sell biohome media in the us.

Shop on amazon and kensfish.com,much cheaper,also why both chemi pure and purigen?I would skip those for more bio.Also do you or do you not have the filter up and running already?In your first post you said you already had all this stuff so why are you shopping for it again?

You could buy his exact setup for cheaper than that?Where exactly are you shopping for this stuff?

HarleyK on here went a whole year without cleaning,your mileage may vary depending on stock.I would say 6 months but it all depends.You should never have to replace biomedia unless it's literally falling apart.

I use 4 liters of ehfimech on the bottom,got 5 liters on amazon for 37 bucks,I have poret foam on top of that in 20 and 30 ppi,spent 40 or so on that and then 8 liters of seachem matrix,4 liter buckets are less than 30 each on kensfish.com.Also have filter floss if I feel the need to run...

Why would you have to continue to spend a small fortune?I was under the impression you had the filter and media already?I filled my 2262 for 150 bucks or so and should never have to replace any of the media.

Thats how you want them,a little snug to prevent bypass

Honestly growing up fishing is what got me into keeping fish.I always practice catch and release but I have no problem with people eating what they catch,except for commercial fisherman decimating species.My dad was an avid bass fisherman and fished local tournaments and catch and release and...

If it was mine I would put the 30 ppi before the bio media.The filter comes with a mesh bag to keep the bio media,so you shouldn't have to worry about broken pieces.You want the bio to get the cleanest water possible to prevent clogging.But either way your probably fine.

I just purchased a 2262 for my 150 as well.I went with 5 liters of ehfimech for the bottom,two inches of poret 20 ppi foam,two inches of 30 ppi foam and 8 liters of matrix,If I have room I will add a little eheim substrat pro as well.
