New 12' Tank!!

A tank that size needs far less filters. You are wasting a lot of money. The amount of fish that could be supported by those filters won't even fit in that tank. A sump would have been a much better option.

I agree you could have saved alot of dough going with a sump and it would be more managable than changing 20 canister filters at cleaning time.

But kudos to you and nice tank.

Doido means crazy!

That about sums up this setup...LOL

Dayuuuum! The cans are going to take up as much space as the tank itself! Very clean!

Thats what I thought when I saw the tank picture. Not to mention the cost of them, you probably could have had 2 complete set ups like that one in the picture with sumps!

I think of is as a waste of resources.

There is far more efficent filtration available on the market or a fraction of the cost.

Give us the heads up when you're selling those filters.

Totally agreed man... that's too many filters... a good sump setup would already be more than sufficient... or if your bioload is really heavy... a good sump tank with a cannister connected to a denitrator booster by a protein skimmer...

Anyway I remembered working in a marine institute before... we didn't use that many filters but each Eheim we used was at leat 2-2.5ft tall... not sure about the model but I don't think you can purchase them from the LFS.
