Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 as animates is having a big sale this weekend and im thinking of setting up a 100Lish tank andy suggestions of what sort of eheim filter would best be suited and how much heating, lighting etc needed. was thinking of having a couple of angels and few schooling fish in a planted tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 hehe, someone has been bitten by the bug Heaters are usually 1 watt - 1.5 watts per litre. I have a 300W instead of 200W heater going in my 180 litre tank as my flat gets chilly (and I found my 55 watt heater wasnt keeping up in a 35 litre tank last winter here!) Lighting depends on what you want to grow... Have fun :lol: (If you want to splurge, remember the Aqua One tank setups are half price, and with that you get a tank, cabinet, lighting and filtration all in one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 yeah all the setups have a cabinet which i dont need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 was thiunking either a eheim 2010 canister or internal 2210, with 150-200W heater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 any idea what the 2234 goes for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.qian Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I have a Eheim 2010, excellent filter does a very good job keep ing my nitrate at 0ppm, with the help of lots of plants. For 100L tank this filter will do the trick, getting an external might be a bit of a overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.qian Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 This is the size of my tank by the way. The 2010 can filter up to 160L maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
