Would be awesome if they were like best buds and chilled together all the time..(and without needing dithers)

Knowing Li, I'm sure his dithers will be equally as impressive as the two focal fish

Can't wait to see this done man. This year your tank...next year mine?

Today I got my Eheim 2262

Glad it arrived safely
It's rare to see a 2262 dwarfed by a tank's stand. Awesome

li,if i were you i wouldnt just keep those two barras together.
ive had barras kill each other like that.
at least get some dithers.
especially since they are not ordinary barras...
JMO.

after talking to Aqua Ultraviolet the media is "push down" during filtration so it trap all the particles..

she did mention that i oversize the filter... since when you "backwash" it does pump water out... at the pump flow rate! ugh... now i gotta figure out how to add more water back after a backwash! she also mention that my pump should be fine for backwash... because 2 pump will be too much for the 2" pipe to handle unless 1 has a valve...

Reason for the sump LOL... With that flow rate you'll back wash in a few seconds. Your water source is only good until the water level reaches your bulkheads. If you included a sump than you could have increased the water level in the sump to ensure enough water passes through when you back wash.

or change your set up to TANK > PUMP > SOCK > ULTIMA > TANK

Then you would not have to back wash as often since waste particles would be picked up by the sock.
