Anyone use a Matten Sponge Filter as the sole Filter for a large heavily stocked tank? Would that work?
Thanks - did you do the full matten on one side, or the corners? Also, did you go 4" and what PPI did you use/recommend? I'm thinking about doing a 4" 20 PPI, w/ a 3" 10 PPI in front (on my 135 test case w/ Amphilophus) - that way, I would never have the clean the main one. I think w/ big fish it could clog easy. Are you glad you did it - any concerns? Last, are you clowns good size, or pretty low bio for now?I use one on a 125 with 9 clown loaches and 3 yo-yo loaches.
I hear you w/ the sump. I'm just trying to stack two tanks due to space limitations (so no area for sump) and want to eliminate leak chances w/ water leaving and entering the tank. Mine will be 72" long and likely 30" or more wide - do you think 30" would be enough for two corners?A sump with poret foam would be better.
For a 300 gallon tank, you could use the corner ones if the tank is really wide.
Stephen Tanner the owner of Swiss tropicals is really helpful, shoot him an email directly.
Cool - how large are they? Assuming that your footprint is 6x2, do you find the length adequate? I'm looking at 6 foot length, but wider than 24"I used 2 FX6 on my 220. I have 2 very large umbies in my tank.
Male is 17" and the female is 12". The length is fine, but it would of been nice to have a deeper tank.Cool - how large are they? Assuming that your footprint is 6x2, do you find the length adequate? I'm looking at 6 foot length, but wider than 24"
