Filtration and heater for a 180 gal
- Thread starter cornbread_5
- Start date
i have a 150 gal. 2 heaters one 200 watts and a300 watt works great. one fx5 and 2 ac11o just making it .would like to add more.
I got a 180gal with 1 heater 400watt works really great for a Freshwater Tropical Tank and for Filtration I have a Fx5 & a Emperor 400
I would do either one FX5 supplemented with a strong powerhead and air stones or A small pond filter that has a backwash option (lets you clean the filter while draining the tank for a water change with the turn of a handle).
On my 180g I have two AquaClear 110s, two Eheim 2217 canister filters, and two 250-watt ebo jager heaters. Everything in pairs...
We used AquaUV for the systems at the shop I was running. Ocean Clear also has one that has a backwash, but I don't have any experience with it. The AquaUV ones were great though.
how would you compare them to an fx5? because i see they are cheaper but do they work as good or better i wonder
