Im getting a 240 and was wondering what the best way to filter it would be, but theres one thing, i unfortunetly cant build a undertank sump because ive got tanks under it and nowhere else to put them. Because of this im having a hard time figuring out what the best way to filter the tank is. The stocklist will be one jag, one oscar, one pacu, one occelaris, and one silver.
Heres one of my ideas. I will have a fairly large, sturdy, heavy duty container or bucket sitting above the tank that will be filled with bio balls, tons of filter media and some scrubbies (scrubbies making up most of it). The container will probably be around 2 ft wide, 2 ft deep, and 2 feet tall. There will be a pump that will be sucking water up to the container on one end of the tank to get the water up there. Im thinking of around 1000 gph or bigger. On the bottom of the container there will be a outlet hooked up to pvc that will let the water flow down back into the tank, on the opposite end of the tank as the pump. Ill also throw a couple of power heads on the tank for ciculation. It will pretty much be a above tank sump.
Let me know what you guys think. TTT
