noob with a 300g

[TRENT]

I vote, 1 FX5, 2 AC110's, and a few powerheads to push some water around. The AC110's give you alot for your money.

i vote 1 fx5 and 2 ac 110s too!

you got 300 gallons to work with and all you can think of is one aro, oscar, and 2 or 3 firemouths.....haha cram some fish in there man (only kidding) but i do believe you could house far more than that if you wanted

 

[jlines]

the thing about the ac110's is that i dont like the way the hobs look

would i need a whole other fx5 or is there a smaller canister that would work?

Drill the tank and use overflows with a diy wet/dry...

are you sure? i thought an arow could get to like 3' long. i was under the impression that i could just barely hold 1 arow in that tank

True though the silver would only occupy the top part of the tank, leaving the mid and bottom empty. You can fit some mid to bottom swimming level fishes.

Oh and I vote for a fx5 and a wet/dry or 2 fx5. HOB's are ugly.

 

[RyanP]

2 fx5s would do the job easily

on my 300 i have a 55gal sump w/ mag 12 and 2 ac 110's. seems to get the job done. oh and a couple koralia (sp?) powerheads to move things around a bit.
