The tank is a 240 long with about 75 fish,20 clown loaches and the rest cichlids (african mbuna and central american).I have well water with high alkalinity.The PH holds rock solid at 8.Right now the tank is producing 20 ppm in nitrates a week and a 50% water change per week keeps it under 20 ppm.The garage is heated. The reason the filter is out there is because of necessity.The tank is in my livingroom and shortly after I got it I fell asleep during a water change with a normal under the tank trickle filter.I woke up with over 200 gallons on the new carpet. The wife gave me an ultimatum.
