the-obstacle Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi, This weekend I'm picking up my first big tank and was wondering if 2 CF1200 would filter it sufficiently? It's 1500x750x650ish so fairly deep and tall. I'm happy to use powerheads for circulation and will hopefully add a sump to the mix at a later date. I'm not going to run very high stock levels either as I'm hoping to build up a SA biotope for pandas with some geos or rams and a tetra school of some sort but that's all a long way off. for now I need to build a stand and get the filtration right. Any thoughts? Am I dreaming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwan Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I've got two of these canisters on my 6x2x2 and they're doing a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Probably a bit light on filtration if you want a crystal clear tank but should be perfectly fine to keep the fish alive even with a relatively high stocking rate. I am assuming you know that HFF have a special on these filters at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-obstacle Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks all. I'll give it a go and worst case they can supplement the sump will be added at a later date. I am assuming you know that HFF have a special on these filters at the moment? Exactly why I'm wondering I'll grab one this weekend and start it cycling on my 75L so it's ready to go once the stand and tank are sorted.
