the two ac110s and the fluval sound like more than adequate for the 210... in order to keep particles suspended and add extra filtration, I like cutting a slit in an aqua clear sponge, and sliding a powerhead into it.


can u show me a pick? or describe it better. where on the sponge do u cut, and place the powerhead.

also do u guys use the extension intake tube? my tank is 18 tall. should take both extension off, or leave one take the other extension tube off.

normally i would say try and have your intake about 4-6 inch above gravel, but if your useing sand you might want it higher to not clog the filter so much, imo
 
i used extension tube in both ac110. i took off both earlier. i seen some changes already, like where the bio use to settle. also my aro isnt knocking, and swimming behind the tubes anymore.
