BIG tank filter

[vanilla__gorilla__]

my father is having (already under way) a 1350 aquarium (not pond) being built for his new house in washington. He is going back a forth about what kind of filter to use either a wet/dry or a bead filter.What do you guys think would be a better filter for a tank this large? I my self would go with a large wet/dry



and I promise to be there taking pics when this thing is done

 

[Mr.V]

build a massive wet dry, and if possible a water replacement system

Repair has a 2200 that has a 300g wet/dry.

I'd go with the wet dry.

Not yet, but it was running off of that filter before he got it and it was SW

 

[Dr Joe]

Is your Dad inclined to do cleanings of just push a lever?

I think he was thinking that because he has the bead filters from his old pond he way as well use them on this tank

here is what i would do but it depends on where there is room to mount stuff etc

main mechanical filter.... hayward cartridge type swimming pool filter running at about 40 gpm

separate bio filter with bio ball scrubies etc....about 40 gallons worth....can add charcoal on return....

remote mount all this stuff in the garage or untility room....

very low maintenace but will not work if its all in the living room..........
