100gallon tank project!! agressive lake style

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
As long as you keep up the WC's, I'm sure the fish will be fine. I was just messin with ya. I do think you should invest in bigger heaters, though. Those little guys will have to work too hard & that increases the risk of malfunction. Colder water slows the cycle down, so if you're gonna buy a new heater anyway, get a Hydor Theo thats rated for the whole 100 gallons, then just use the small heater down in the sump.

tank is still leaking and i havent even gotten the silicone for it yet. im think, scince turtles produce TONS of watse(same as bluegills), that i will go over kill with filtration.. i will have 3 filters on this baby...

1.my sump= 600gph
2. ac110= 500gph
3. rena xp2= 280gph
TOTAL GPH= 1380gph

Just to let you know, i have 1000gph on my 55g, it still gets dirty too, with medium stocking. I would beef it up with double ac110s, that's what i have on my 55g.
 
haha^^ yeah your right.

oh and just so you know i went with only having the 550gph sump and 2 175gph HOBS. thats only 900gph and it is super clean. with the turtles in it!

ill get pics up as soon as possible. lately, ive had no time to take pics and my camera isnt working well right now.
 
It's still clean because all your animals are still babies... :nilly:
