kbird Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Would an undergravel filter be sufficient for a 600x300x300 tank. I think about 50 litres? or if not what would be the minimum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 It really depends on what you're going to put in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbird Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Fish probably! Sorry, a pair of Golden Gourami and a few guppies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 It would be fine. I like undergravels for tanks 2ft or smaller. Cheap and easy to manage. If you want to grow live plants, make sure the substrate is at least 5cm deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbird Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Cheers for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 As hummingbird said, it does also depend on what fish you have. Do not use undergravels with fish that like to dig around in the substrate, like goldfish or a lot of the cichlids. Small corys and bristlenose types are fine though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
