Air is trapped or impeller is bad Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My mistake, mine is an e200; but the point is, the tank is a 55 gal with lots of circulation and in a room that fluctuates between 68 at night and 72 during day, and it can't keep 79.5. Redundancy is good in case of failure of one. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Although you may not need it, redundancy is a good thing. I would suggest 2 fluval e300's. Living in fla with a near constant temperature of 74 indoors, your heaters just wont be working that hard. The fluval e series have built in thermometers so you will be able to see how hard they are...

They would be wrong. Changing the cartridges on my G6 is much easier than opening my 406. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I really like my g6. Make sure you have an extra mechanical filter and chemical filter housing. The way you just swap them out without having to wait for the used pieces to dry after you cleaned them. I have 400 gm of purigen as my chemical filter and I dont use a bag. The only thing I dont...

Length and width are more important than height, so the 48" is a better choice Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

People are mostly going to say eheim or fluval. I really like my fluval 406. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
