paekakboyz Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hi All, Currently have a 215L tank running a Jebo 810 external. I'm upgrading to a bigger tank (366L) soon and was thinking about whether I need a larger filter... The setup will be a planted community tank stocked with... 20-30 cardinals 15 Danios 4 BN 8 Corys and probably a pair of rams If I was to err I rather do it on the side of excess filtration rather than not having enough! Your suggestions/advice would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I would upgrade. I have the Jebo 819 on my 250L but any bigger and I would actually run 2 filters on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 i have found it better to have as much filtration as possible, both of my tanks have a filtration rate of 10 times the tank volume per hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paekakboyz Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I walked past (well actually around!) the FX5 at the petstore the other day... I didn't quite embarrass myself by drooling but I came close!! I'd prefer if possible to only have one filter running on the tank to minimise pipes etc in the tank not to mention the power points required (add 2 heaters, 1 or 2 light fittings etc). hmm doesn't seem to leave me too many options though... ps: I'm not in a position to add a sump either (noise and CO2 loss major reason) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Go for the FX5. Should do a great job for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
