I am setting up a new FRESHWATER PLANTED TANK that is 4'x2'x3'tall(approx.180gal). I would like to use just 1 filter on it instead of running 2 like I have done in the past on other tanks.
Also, my tank will be custom made and I want to have it drilled on the bottom and use loclines but I can't order the tank till I know how many holes to have drilled(and what size). I know the 2080 would require 3 holes as opposed to the 2260/2262 only needing 2 holes. There will not be any overflow on this tank.
What filter would you guys recommend that will not blow my plants out of the water but will still allow plenty of circulation? I plan on stocking it with a large school of rummy nose(~100) and angelfish(10ish?).
I'm leaning towards the 2262 but am afraid it might be too much flow. Is there a way to adjust the flow on this filter without burning up the motor?
Thanks in advance!
