Your tank size + filtration

[PYRU]

Tank 15' x 4' x 4', Not set up yet. Will be running two Ultima 4000s with ReeFlo Barracuda Gold pumps for biological filtration, six RTL-100s with ReeFlo Hammerhead pumps for mechanical filtration, 405 gallon sump for redundant filtration, will also be running a Clarity CL3 protein skimmer off the sump with a ReeFlo Tarpon pump. Each Ultima 4000 Barracuda Gold combo will have a 120W UV sterilizer on the return end. One of the Ultimas will actually be returning the water in the sump back to the main tank. Family illness taking priority right now, so the backgrounds are unfinished, as I am not at home much right now. Someday our tank will be finished and set up.

Please post that going together. Id love to see that filtration. 2 ultima 4ks? Respect!!

Sorry about the family illness

Rotating: DIY (if you can even call it that) polishing filter. Marineland Maxi-jet 900, plastic water bottle cut in half, filter floss. Works great if you can manage not to spill all the *&^#^$% back into the tank when you remove it.

I find these cloth kind of cooking strainers to be very useful when removing internal filters for cleaning -- unlike with say a net, finer particles don't come out through the cloth. They come in larger sizes too that would fit over that size bottle.

I run an FX5 and Aquatop 704b on my 120 gallon and FX6 and FX4 on my 180 gallon......does the job!

135g: Not set up yet but will be making a sump out of a 40 breeder.

75g: 30g sump, don't remember the name of the return pump off the top of my head (bought the whole setup used). Will be adding a small circulation pump in the big middle compartment.

55g: Marineland Magnum 350 and Penguin 350

40bs: Sponge filters, and one also has a Marineland 200 that I'd hoped would filter out small floating particles but doesn't.

10g: Tetra Whisper 10i internal filter

I would do the same with my maxi jet except I would turn it upside down so it would skim the top water of my oscars poop/left over food and I would clean after feedings

Hey mom hope everything is ok.

My 125 has an fx6, fx5, and Rena xp3. My 2 40 breeders have aquaclears 70's and my 55 has a fluval 406 and seachem tidal 110.

How do you like the seachem tidal filter ? Is it comparable to the Aquaclears ?

I like the AC better. The tidal starts making alot of noise if the water level drops alittle. The AC also has alot more room. The tidal has a small, special shaped piece of foam and a smallish bag of ceramic rings. If I were to replace the tidal I would get an aquaclears.

Makes sense at 1st i thought it looked gimmicky but you know new toys look appealing.

125g has a Cascade 1500 Elite and a SunSun 304b (budget setup ftw) It needs more plants, but my Pacu makes that difficult. Pic is also before the Cascade was added.


100g acrylic has a built in overflow with a five stage filtration system and I use it for freshwater so it just has a 425gph powerhead running the built in system and it works great. Apparently I don't have a picture on this phone so I'll post that later.

Also this is my first post, so hello everyone.
