Hello all,
I would like to setup a 55-60 Gallon fresh water system. I have the following questions:
1. I see many filteration types. Canisters, box types that hang on top of the tank and filters that are attached outside the tank and filteration system that is built inside the cabinet. Which is the best system and which is the best for the buck?
2. I see some filteration systems where the tank comes predrilled for overflow systems (Megaflow, twin flow etc). How good are those?
3. Undergravel filters. Do I need one? Somewhere I read that 55 gallons and above doent need one.
3. What kind of maintenance is required on a regular basis to keep the water crystal clear?
4. How often do you all recycle the water in the tank? That is take water out and replace with fresh water.
5. Any brand names that you can suggest
Any pointers that you may provide are much appreciated.
