Dixon1990 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I don't know why you keep fish, you're obviously not concerned about their welfare if you won't provide good filtration for them! I have some 25w jebo heaters, they're quite small. How small are you looking for? They're about 20cm long, and normal heater thickness. That part about welfare was a joke, right? :lol: Um, i have a aquaone thats about 20cm, but i would realy like to find one thats thinner.

lmsmith Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah it was. I don't think I've ever seen a thinner one, but they've gotta be available. Have you tried ebay? That's the only place I could imagine you'd find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Why use a filter at all. I have a 3 foot tank that is planted up to the yazoo. Just has a heater and lights and about 2000000 guppies that come and go. (Yes we have had this talk before) That would give you more room to have a heater and then just use water changes to remove particluates. If it was that big a deal just use an old fashioned light bulb to provide both heat and light ahla killi cupboard but singlular and in a clip on study light thingy.

Zev Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Gee pheonix, you think that 3420LPH filtration for this size tank is a tad overboard as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 but it would only filter the water 427.5 times an hour :lol: 7 times a minute Don't put a betta in there tho, the flow just might be too much for him Put it right next to a big tank to heat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like having jetboat motor return pump. I think Navarre has the right idea; how about just a normal light bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatopia Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Gee pheonix, you think that 3420LPH filtration for this size tank is a tad overboard as well? You can never over filter - ever ever ever, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 You can never over filter - ever ever ever, lol. Ok so as well as a FX5 we can add a 200lt sump, then you can stick the heater in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Ok so as well as a FX5 we can add a 200lt sump, then you can stick the heater in that. That's a good point. Don't want the thing showing now, do we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 lol im usually in favour of over filtration, but somehow i think the fish will spend more time in the filter than in the tank in this case! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
