Just came back from the LFS and was a bit of a shock seeing what they want for the 2262 and then media on top of that...
Anyways while I was there I placed an order for a 180gal tank and stand. The tank I intend to stock with Central American Cichlids 2-3 big ones and a few small, though all will start as juveniles. My intention is to use a 2262 and an AC110 in the beginning and in a year or so as the fish start getting some size I will add a second canister (fx5/6 or 2nd 2262).
The 110 I'd like to utilize primarily for mechanical and the canisters for BIO. With that in mind can someone offer some budget conscious suggestions for media options for the 2262? (oh and how many liters will I need?)
I open my canisters on my other tanks 3-4 times a year, and would like to do no more than that with the 2262.
