180 GALLON TANK (Setup Costs and requirments- looking for help)

Wow 2500 is a lot of cash. But I guess whe nyou look at includign all the material to make it run it is not horriable.

What about a filter that is run into the bottom of the tank. Meaning gettign the glass drilled and fitted so that you are not using some crazy hang on filters and canister filters that have ugly tubes running into the tank???


What kind of filter do you use on a 180 gallon tank? Explain it in detail to me.

Eheim 2260 Canister filter
Intake behind the background and spraybar in front.

So all you run is really jsut a biological and mechanical filtration setup?

I know you can add carbon to an Elhim but it only lasts for a week or two and the filter normally does nto need anyhting done to it for months at a time.

 

[Roy W.]

Dont use any carbon, its not nessesary where i live.

 

[jasno999]

Why is it not nessassaryt where you live? What does where you live have to do with anyhting?

 

[Roy W.]

Why IS it nessesary where you live?

Norway in general has exceptional water quality!
When I do waterchanges I add it right into the tank with a garden hose.

Carbon is not needed unless I want to clean out after medication or something like that!

Oh.

Interesting.
