I am about to receive a fish tank 78" X 26" X 30" around 1300ltrs i beleive. What size filters do i need and how many ltrs per hour do need to filter. i intend to keep general fish i.e Gouramis, Tetras, Mollies.

Without going into all the possible varying factors that may dictate, or at least have a bearing on the filtration. The rule I work with myself, is that the filters should turnover the total tank volume 3 times per hour. I think you should setup a sump filter to be honest, it's going to always cope and make maintenance easier.

Anyway, you are one lucky person getting a tank that size
