I was wondering if this would be enough filtration in a 180 w/CA fish in the 6" range right now. Tring to get by cheap for now an upgrade at a later date. Any help would be great
Magnum 350 & Emperior 400 for a 180G

I ran both of those AND a penguin 350 on my 75.. Mine was a bit overkill but I think your gonna be under filtered still. You may be able to get away with it if you do very frequent water changes. Never had a tank that large though, so I'm not really sure.
I have 2 400's on my 125 gal and have not been real happy. If my arowana was the only fish in there I might be fine but I'm looking for something better.
But it's only my opinion.

i would do 2 400's and the magnum. you should be good as long as you stock right. no lungfish or rtc, lol. i like marineland equipment.
900 gaLLONS AN HOUR SEEMS OK TO ME. they both do mechanicle pretty good and bio-wheels have worked great for me.
You should be fine and since you are trying to get by cheaply if you need more flow and filtration get a power head with a sponge on it to move things around and filter.
I have well over twice that amount of filtration on my densely decorated, moderately stocked 125 gal… I’m quite happy with the filtration of this system although I do not feel comfortable removing any of the filters…
I like the Aqua Clear HOBs better than the EMP… I hear they are on sale (there is a thread on this forum about it).
I like the Magnums a lot (I have 3 350s and 3 250s) even though they have a smaller media chamber than the competition. They make great water polishers using the micron cartridge with the blue sock over it (which makes it easier to clean and reuse).
