I like to buy an eheim 2260 for my "soon to be" 220 gallon, and i would love some experiences!
For me it would only be for the mechanical filtration, a fluidbedfilter (or in dutch a zandwervelbedfilter) would be for the biological filtration.
It would be a tank on my room, where i sleep to, so it has to be quiet.

Some opinions?

For starters you should keep you tank in the room instead of on it, :grinno: LOL!!!!!

as for the the 2260, that holds 18 liters of media, thats alot of mechanical media to clean, you should have some biomedia as well.

Heres an idea you can try,
connect the return of the canister to the intake of the fluidized bed filter, that way you have clean water from the canister going into the bed filter and reducing maintanence.

If it were me i would get a wet-dry, yes, they are noisy, but i can sleep through just about anything :D
 
Good looking set up and great fish but just for giggles try throwing in about 50-60 brightly colored little tetras like neons and glolights, sometimes they survive and it looks cool.
 
I used to do that with a small shoal of 9" rbps and they would last suprisingly long, the rbps would ignore them if they had something larger to munch.
 
Thanks for you thoughts DeLgAdO, but I have decided to build the mechanical (spelling? o what the hell) filtration myself.
It would be located in the aquarium, some what like a sump inside the aquarium, but then for the mechanical filtration.
I don't have a lot of money, so I thought I could better spend it on a good, big tank and bio filtration and make the mechanical filtration myself. The bed filter would get waterthe water that is filtered by the mechanical filtration first so it stay's nice and clean. So I will have nice clear water in the tank in my room.

I hope.... :newbie: ha ha
