Hi all.

My dilemas...request for adivce!

Lighting - what to use? thinking of T5 but so many to choice from!!

Filtration - the bigest dilema - the choices ive found are the biggest eheim (expensive) or the fluval FX5. Or to use two tetratec ex1200?

Any advice to help my dilemas will be great!

For that size of tank people would go with 2 externals otherwise a homemade sump(smaller tank sectioned with a powerful pump in the last compartment) Filter media can be placed in sump. Although mainly adopted by reef aquarium buffs they can be adapted to freshwater.
