Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Alright guys how are you all doing?? My name is Derek and I am finishing up the set up work on my 200 gallon aquarium (its only taken about 3 months for setup already!!) I have already got my chemical filtration (Aquac EV 180) and I am going to purchase 150 pounds on some Fiji and base Live rock. My question has to do with my mechanical filtration to help trap and remove the solids in my aquarium. Know I know it would be an excellent idea to get a sump, wet dry, fuge, etc. but I cannot afford to have this overflow at all!! There is no room for error....the aquarium is on the second floor and it CANNOT OVERFLOW!! So what is my next best solution?? Can i go with so cantister filters and work efficitively on this huge aquarium?? I was thinking about some external power filters but I fell that they would be greatly underpowered for an aquarium my size. If I cannot use a canister filter for my aquarium what else is out there for me to use?? I am really looking for any suggestions other than saying that I should get a wet dry and hide everything in there. I will do that but that is my absolute last alternative and i mean LAST alternative. If your suggestion is for a sump, can you help by providing info on how not to get a sump to overflow...not even once. I appreciate you all for spending your time on reading this and I thank you for any help you might provide in the future. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Derek
