I did plants in a 90 with a wet dry and they thrived I don't understand the big deal with them???? a wet dry would be your best ecnomical bet.... and no need for ceramic rings go to the dollar store and stock up on nylon scrubbies tons of surface area and cheap as hell

My 300 gallon FW has dual Eheim 2260's and I couldn't be happier with it.

Wouldn't have any problems with a planted tank with lower light plants. Now, for higher light where you need CO2 injection, itcould get tricky. I'm planning on adding CO2 injection to mine. Will be using a inline CO2 reactor inline with one of my return pumps. Should work fine.

what size sump would be good? i building a stand so size does not really matter.

 

[rallysman]

a 20g tank would do the trick, but you could do more with a 29

Sump as when my pump burns out I replace the pum p for half the price that i would replace my eheims, fluvals or other high end canisters.

Oh and haven't had to change a burnt pump 'YET' .. Probably soon

Pump replacement costs the same for me. Eheim 2260 uses an external pump and is not integrated into the filter like others.

Also I have yet to lose a pump.
