Added more filtartion

[CHRIS79]

Well added another "eheim" to my 220g, been running a 2262 and added a used 2260, seems ok but doesnt push as hard as 2262 thinking of upgradeing to 1262 pump or trading in smaller orino who just wont grow for another sp what you guys think bigger pump or bigger cichla?

Nice and clear! what's the dimensions on your tank?

 

[gangster]

Keep the orino!

Keep the orino and ditch the farmies Give a reeflo pump some though.

My son pretty muched raised em while I was gone he wont part with the more mono looking farmie as he is king but the more occel probably the smaller orino is questionable as he likes bigger fish, was thinking dishing out for a larger azul or Kel...tank is 6'x24"by I think 30 or 31" dont remember how tall but a 220 been a while, you guys think I could add something else like an Aro or a catfish of certain size?

My friend keeps silver aros with his cichla without any problems. I don't see why you can't keep catfish with cichla just make sure it's not like a rtc or they may eat your cichla.. Shark aquarium has tons of azuls in all different sizes but I would wait until someone imports wild kelberi before you buy a kelberi.

I keep a Blue Aro and Vulture Cat. Id recommend both as tank mates for your Cichla

Nice clean looking tank IMO the tank is too small to support any south american aro past about 24".

Looking into an azul just never seen one in person, I'm sure the blue is banging on top and tail but sometimes the rest of them they look greyish in pics...Thanks for the clean comments there is a little bit of poop in left corner hence thinking of buying bigger pump desicions...

Is the 2262 that much of a difference than the 2260? I'm thinking of getting the 2260 as is consumes 30watts less than the 2262. I'm always trying to get equipment that uses less energy...
