New 240 tank. Could use some advise

[crager44]

Hello,
Have a 240 acrylic coming. It will have 4 canister filters and 2 uv sterilizers feeding throuth the bottom. Do I need to add any type of aeration to the top? I am told it is not needed. I thought aeration was done at the surface? Will house 4 5" Occelos. Thanks.

Sounds good but acouple air stones wouldnt hurt not like your going to need it with 4 canisters going. Get 2 Fluval Fx5 then you won't need 4 filters. I see you couldnt stay away from the bass once i bought your Tems...lol Post some pics of your setup once you get it going.

How are they doing? Must be getting big! Would like to see pics. I guess this can be a little addictive, once you start. I know I went a little overkill on the set-up, but I usually fall short on filtration. Plus, Tom at fishtanksdirect is a damn good salesman! I won't need that old 90G after I transfer them, if anyone is interested?

So, will I need to add aeration?
