yarimochi Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 After reading all of those opinions, I think I will definitely be going for 2 fluval fx5s for my 200lx80wx70h which is an updated version now at 980L. I think two would be substantial, don't you? And what kind of heating would be best? 1 1000l heater of 2 600l heaters? or something else? Whats the best lighting aswell? Im wanting to bring out the best colours in my fish especially an asian aro if i can get one. how hard are they to get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 It depends on what kind of fish, and how many, you want to keep in there. IMO you'd be better off with two heaters rather than one large one, seems safer to me, if one fails you've got the other one to back it up. I found in my 550L tank with two 300W heaters that most of the time only one was working, and it was only when doing water changes or on cold nights the second one kicked in.
