Whats the stock of the tank?

 

[TwistedPenguin]

Yes it is and that's such an awesome price I may have to order one
It looks like an Eheim knock-off or something, but for $45 it's worth it.
You might add a powerhead at one end just to get more water moving.

right now 4 5in freddies. 1 banded leoperinus 7in. with 30-40% WATER CHANGE WEEKLY. BUT I WANT TO DO A TANGINIYKA TANK MILDLY STOCKED.??????

I think this is very similar or identical. Fill it all with good biomedia (Matrix is cheap and very effective) and just have a coarse pad or two on the bottom and if you want, some filter floss (100% poly fill from craft/fabric department of store) either after the coarse pads, after the biomedia, or both!

If you can afford it, reefreshH20 cell-pore media is very nice and just a little would help to handle a massive bio load but it is a bit overkill. But if you can afford a little jar of sheet/block, go for it!

i would think you need something else with that,
your probly not gonna get 325 gph, more like half that w/ media
i ran that filter on a 55 with an ac 110
i would use an hob with that, an ac110 would be great. maybe try and find a used 1 for cheap on ebay

then again if you can save two hundred get an fx5 and your'll never have a doubt about enough filtration
but then again i like to over filter

People have said anything I could about the filter.

But black text on this sites dark blue background.. ouch.

 

[tcarswell]
