Just picked up a 200 Gal. filters???

Will two XP3's be good enough to run this tank good without needing anymore filtration.

I say three

I would scrap the canister idea (maybe run 1 for mechanical) and install a wet/dry (unless you're planning on getting plants).

why w/d w/ no plant?

why w/d w/ no plant?

if you're going for a planted aquarium it's more difficult to maintain co2 levels with a wet/dry.

 

[BIGgourami]

oh.



duh.
what if he just did one full of ceramic&such for bio?

 

[rallysman]

then you basically have a big canister lol.

 

[BIGgourami]

i meant the canister.
like have one w/ floss or whatever for mech. and have it inline with one for bio?

 

[Joey47]

so two xp3's, one with floss and sponges and the other with all ceramic for bio?

 

[rallysman]

If your stock levels are light then that should be alright. Keep in mind that they don't flow nearly what is advertised when they're full of media.
