300 Gal Acrylic

[Raven20]

Need to know if I have enough filtration for my 300 gal that I just bought today...I currently have Fluval FX5... Magnum 350...Jebo 828....

Possibly, what is your stock? What is your planned stock? It could be that it is good now, but you may require more as your fish grow.

Nothing but Africans......Malawi

As long as you've got enough bio media to support your stock, you should be fine. Set up the Jebo and Fluval for mech a bio, run the micron sleeve in the Magnun and your tank should be filtered nicely.

You need to be a little more detailed. I mean if your only keeping five 4" fish then your gonna be better then fine. On the other hand if your gonna jam in 200+ 6-8" fish you'll be seeing tank filtration failure.

Get another FX5 if you can afford it. It will keep your tank pristine. Use both of those for bio with a little mechanical and the micron sleeve in the magnum like already said. Your water will be great!

Sitting on the truck....it's killing me.......Thanks guys....i'm thinking 50-70 Africans in the 4-5 inch range..

Alot of african tanks seem to trend towards lots of rock word. With excess decor you need to increase in tank current. This can be done with more filters or a couple well placed powerheads.

I have 4 powerheads so flow shouldn't be a problem...

It depends on stock. I see some are saying get another FX5. I would and a Eheim 2262 for a tank like that. You will not be disappointed.
