6x2x2 Stocking And Filtration.

[CRAIG1591]

Hey Guys,

I currently have had my 6x2x2 running for about 3 months now.

Filtration:
Odyssea CFS500
Fluval 404

Stock:
4x Geo. 'Rio Branco' - 12cm each.
6x Geo. 'Brachybranchus' - 4cm each.
8x Rainbowfish - Varied size 6-10cm each.
1x Bristlenose - 5cm

I would like to know:
*What else would you guys recommend I add next?
*Would replacing the 404 with an FX5 or another CFS500?
- The FX5 is 3 times the price of the CFS500 where I live in Australia. Is the Fx5 really worth 3 times when it has twice the flow?

Cheers,
Craig.

I feel your stock list doesn't flag the need for major filtration. However, my choice for a 6x2x2 (w/no built in overflows) would be 2 AC110's combined with a large Eheim or FX5 can.

id say ur filtration is beyond fine for that stock, i really odn't know a whole lot of specifics on any of those fish so i can't really advise what to add to it
