External Filter For A 90l Tank

[hollanda88]

I have decided that i want an external filter for my 90L tank as the 2 internals are taking up a lot of room.

Any ideas? IM looking at the Eheim classic 2213 and the eheim Pro 2222

i have been looking around for my 125 litre, i think the tetratec700 should be good for you

Various to chose from..... ex600, ex700, fluval 105, 205 and as you said the eheim

The tetratec IMO for value, however i do like fluvals ..... had problems with all the other complanies with leaks but the fluval have been the strongest FOR ME so far.

Will a fluval 405 be over kill??

or will i be better with a smaller filter and a power head

i get a 205 or equivalent and keep the u3 or 2+ in the tank as extra filtration and movement then you wouldn't need a powerhead
you could always keep the u3 or 2+ filled with floss as purely a polishing filter

But they take up so much room in the tank

the only reason i want an external is to remove stuff from my tank

i wouldnt nessersary say overkill but i would say its a little to big ...anythink 600-700lph would be sufficient and you would have plenty of movement in the tank, you wouldnt need to keep the internal in there

ive got a 2213 on a 70l and love it you may need a 2217 for a 90l

I mean it's a 1300ltr/h filter ...thats what i mean to big....very unessary turnover for a 90ltr tank hence why i said somethink like a 600-700lph filter would suffice

But doin't people say that only ehiem say the true turn over with media, for other you have to half it, which would leave the fluval 405 on th upper band for my tank???

I'm proberbaly wrong lol
