Hi
I will be getting a new 4ft by 2ft by 2ft tank in a few weeks, im having it custom made. I was just wondering what size filter would I have to get for it eventually.
I plan on using my current filters to get it up and running and cycled but in the long run I would prefer to only have 1 small internal filter for aeration and to have external canister filters only.
I will stock this tank with subtropical fish
Coldwater
1calico fantail
1golden fantail
2 black moors
also subtropical temperate
2 variatus platys
3danios (in mind to up school to 6 later on)
4 cloud minnows (in mind to up school to 6 later on)
I currently own these filters
350 Eheim external canister filter
2 2012 Eheim Pick up internal filters
1 u2 fluvel internal filter.
My question is will this be enough filteration to start with until I can afford to upgrade to a bigger external filter
Also what size filter do I need would you recommend for the size tank I have. I think it is 465litres 119 us gallons.
I don't intend to get anymore fancy goldfish (unless my latest addition the golden fantail turns out to be a boy, then I may have too, my calico is female my 2 black moors are male) and just up my schooling fish to make them abit happier
Cheers Emma
Ps my goldies are currently in a 42 gallon slightly overstocked hence the upgrade but the new addition has only been in there 3 weeks.
The temperate fish are in there own 27gallon at the mo. But have lived with my goldies before so should be fine when I first got my first two goldies I had them all in the 42 gallon.
