Question on filtering a 260

[HULON]

Thanks for your input bro. I know you know what you're talking about, but I've decided to go with canisters.



non

You got it Bro there is nothing wrong with canister don't get me wrong the 180 with the bass has 3 canisters .It's just when i finally got over my being intimidated of wet dry and actually did it i could not believe how much easier maintinance was i personly was totaly impressed with the way sump worked..

IF non planted 1 x fx5 and a wet dry sump with decent surface area. You can add another fx5 if you decide to heavily stock the tank.

How are they filtering the tank as far as Bio goes? Is your water crystal clear? Is your only problem lack of mechanical filtration?

They seem to do the trick on bio. I have them filled with scrubbies. There is plenty of bio space inside the filter, but I think bio space can sometime be overdone. My 265 is stocked with a 24" Jardini, 15" GG, and a 24" Marbled Pim.

That's a pretty cool stock!

Good to know they work with scrubbies. I will probably do the same thing.
