havent used them but they both have good feedback so id go for it!

tank holds 340 lires and the 405 is rated for tanks up to 400 litres so i imagine it would be ok.

sure it is :unsure:

cheers ski and andy when i have the tank built - it will have a cornr weir built into it with a hole at the bottom. http://www.aquariums.ltd.uk/Technical.asp#Silicon that is the company that will be building it. - how many weis should i have ?? 1 at each end or just one ? and i should have...

you dont want to clean any of the media under tap water - just swill it in old tank water that you remove when you do your water change

thanks guys . would it be ok to use a pond pump?? to be honest , how much flow do you guys reccomend because im totally new to this. the tank will be around 1700 litres. so what size l/h pump do u reccomend??? i seen this on eby - what you guys think...

Freshwater predators such as Arowana , rays etc . The sump will be providing all the filtration for the tank. Tanks a Lot, Adam

hey guys - im currently planning on getting a 450 gallon fish tank (8ft X 3ft X30") and would like to do a sump for it and would appreciate some help. the tank itself is going to have a corner weir - what size hole should i have drilled at the bottom of the tank so that i get enough flow . Also...

i would say changing the eater twice per day is a little much. Just stick to twice wekly and you will be fine

i would go for the tetratec. you can get them for £49.99 at zooplus: http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/fish/filters...r_filters/19461 also free shipping and 10% of your first order :rolleyes: also read the reviews for the ex700 on the above link

lovely yellow tang!

they sey tht you should have atleast 10% of the tank volume in a sump. so therefore if the power fails the sump will not overflow. Hope this helps Adam

totally agree use more bio media and mechanical . Things like bio balls work well

it woke me up :lol:

the reason fluvals tubing is ribbed is so tha it can bend over the back ot the tank without kinking. Filters that use straight tubing do not need to bend over the back - so if you put it on a fluval it might kink and reduce the flow. But, i suppose if you play around with it , it might be ok...

cheers m8 do u think it will b ok if i starve it until it eats the pellets (high protein ones like the 1s in ur link) and make its died up mainly of this and then say twice a week give it prawns?? Cheers

heres how i did it: output from 405 - connect some smooth tubing ( i used a piece of tetratec ex1200) connect to one end of hydor 300w on the other i connect another small peice (bout 4 inches) of tetratec hosing and then wrap some PTFE tape around it and slide the fatory finished end over the...

i would get the fluval 405 with it though s the FX5 is huge and wont fit in the cabinet - only just fits in on my vision 450. Unless you dont mind it sitting outside, however it can be noisy at times :crazy: Adam

looks gr8 , will be very helpfull if i decide to build one in the future, keep us updated and good luck!

thanks t1 but im after the sponge stuff, not the poly stuff. does any one else know where to buy big blue fine and course sponges like the one in my link in the first post?? Thanks Very Much Adam

http://www.fishandfins.co.uk/bargains.htm and scroll down a bit :good:

ok , my aro is now eating prawns daily, i have offered some foating pellets, but he just ignores them . it easts about 3 prawns a day, is this ok ?? will it be ok eating just prawns? Thanks for any help Adam

Except this thread is over 3 years old :blink:

canisters are great , no need to drill the tank , the input and ouput just bend over the rim into the water. I run a fluval FX5 on my 100gall andi love it , it can handle tanks upto 400gal. Well recomended :good:

very nice i love the 6th picure of the stingray! :good:

nice parrot!! she is cute :good:

very nice pics but shouldnt it be in the non fish photographs??

i own a silver aro below

dont feel bad , most ppl probably would have done what you do. And sorry for your losses!

i agree with that , you will find that its hard to get the media into the new trays with the sponge size difference, and then you are not maturing the new medai, as t1 described above is the best method. Good luck :good:

ah i see, how big is he and how much are you looking at for him??

a 500gallon for my arowana

i think its a rio 400 , and nice pics!

where is the arowana gill?

my ex1200 took about 25 mins to setup - dont worry - its easy!! and that order above sounds ok :good: good luck

100gall atm , upgrading soon though

yes , thats my aro below!! :shifty:

congrats , any pics?? and my t5 light are bright aswell lol
