Joshlikesfish Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 What volume is your 120cm long tank? My 4ftr is 200l, where as the obstacle has a 75L 4ftr :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativelover Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 i do not have one at tne moment but have seen this cool one at the bird barn for 135 and its 120 long 60 tall and 45 wide :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 i am unsure what conditions you need to create for those natives but i think a canister would be perefct, say a AquaOne CF1200 which can be purchased for around $140. HFF has them on special at the moment or TM usually has them new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may find the depth annoying. Stick your arm in and see how far down you can reach the back bottom. If it doesn't come with a stand, think about how tall the top of the tank will be once it is on a stand. Now imagine it is the middle of winter and the water is 12 degrees.... It may be just fine but it can also be a pain. There are no native algae eaters, so unless you can learn to live with algae all of your algae removal is by hand. (I only really clean the front and side glass, the rocks and back wall are a lovely mottled brown ) Cannister filters are great, and Eheim make really good ones (if at the expensive end). No matter what, make sure you get the shop people to show you how they go together. Some (like Eheim) are easy, some are just so frustratingly illogical.
