Filtration for 300 gallong 96(L)X30(h)x24(w)

[ecoli73]

This is my current plans for filtration for my up coming 300:

3 Eheim 2028
1 Sunsun 304

All filled with biological materials.

I am planing on having a filter spaced every 2 feet of the aquarium with the spray bars on top. Do I need any power heads in this configuration or is the water circulation good enough?

and no, sump is not a possibility for me right now.

Thanks

No wet/dry or sump really limits you. I plan on running 2 sunsun 404's and a wet/dry on my same dimensions 300... Running 3 Eheim and a sunsun is going to cost more than a using a wet/dry in addition to canisters...

How is a sump not a possability?

Just don't overstock the crap out of the tank, and you can get by with only marginally filtering the tank.

i would go with at least one eheim 2262, or at least an fx5 in addition to what you're running

What kind of fish do u plan on keeping??

It all depends on the fish.....

so many canisters.... i'd go with a eheim 2080 or fx5 with the additional small 40g sump w/d system... or just one big sump w/d system...
my 270 runs on a 120g cls sump and nothing else... and my water is pristine! like its so clear its like looking into a new bottle of arrohead
water bottle!....lol

What kind of mechanical filtration are you using in your sump? I've tried soo many different ways to set my sump up and am never satisfied with the clarity.

I'd go with an Eheim 2262 at least and depending on stock levels maybe 2x Eheim 2262. Obviously, I would ideally suggest you go with a sump though and a 2262.

The reason I have some many is that they are what is running on my old tanks..the bargain with wife is that I get my large tank but get rid of my others. I have 3 eheim 2028 already running and I just bought the sunsun...I figure each canister should handle roughly 100 gallons(each "rated" about 160 gallons). If it is not enough, I can add another fx5. The tank I am getting is not drilled and I will not be drilling anything...As for fish, I will be keeping african haps.
