Help me with a 240 gallon

[musichead707]

Im getting a IN WALL 240 gallon NW cichlid tank. I jjust cant figure out what the @#@$ type of filtration system im going to have. I have looked at sumps and there just so expensive, ive looked at making one but im just not handy. My only other optoin is 2 Filstar XP3s. But i dont think that will be enough. Any suggestions about this are greatly needed.

Personally, I'd go with Filstar XP3 and one power filter, perhaps AquaClear 500 or Emperior 400. This is what I will be doing when I get the 80g tank... (I believe yours is a 65g so you may be able to get away with little less).

For 240 gallons, I would consider a wet/dry sump filter. You would need a lot of filters to get proper flow in that sized tank.

Sorry, I mis-read the original topic... ) Just came from another topic where we were talking about 240L (not gallon) tank... Got mixed up!
