Should I ad another filter?

Hey Guys,

I have been running my 240 gallon with a Fluval fx5 and 2 fish for the last year or so with no problems. Those 2 fish are a Silver Arowana (about 17 inches now) and a male Motoro Stingray (about 8 inches across the belly).

I change 100 gallons of water almost every week. Very rarely do I miss a week (maybe 5 -10 times a year tops)/
Anyway, The water Quality has always been great.

I finally found a fish this weekend that I would like to add to my collection, partially because it was such a great deal (thanks Jimmy).
I picked up my new True Flower Stingray (about the same size as my motoro) this past Sunday. He is doing great and eating the same shrimp my old fish eat witch makes me happy, also he is an amazingly stunning fish.

______

my question, if i keep my same water change schedule do you guys think i can get away with the 1 filter or should i buy an additional canister (im thinking slightly smaller fluval 405)

I am now absolutely happy with my stock and the Flower and motoro complement each other. as well as the big silver swimming up top.

Thanks

tom

It depends if u have the money and if you do water changes every week without forgetting because youll probabley want another fish so i would get the filter

The photos on my profile ect.. are of the Silver Aro and Motoro but they are very old photos. YOu should see my Fat Happy Motoro now and what a monster the Silver has become (with perfect fins) , Looks totally different now.

As for Dish Stock I am happy with these 3 potentially huge Fish. I dont think i would add unless i could find a bargain priced Black Ray.
