Fish Fanatic
We have bought a new tank for a small Mbuna setup, its a Aquaone AR620
Spec's are 62x52x39cm, 90ltr(approx), 2z18w lamps, 750ltr/hr powerhead with trickle filter with carbon, filter wool, sponge pad and ceramic noodles.
This gives us a theoretical stocking of 64cm/25" of fish and with overstocking around 127cm/50" of fish.
Now the internal filter will not be able to support a large number of fish. could I get away with a large internal, normally I would be happy with external but its going to be very difficult to get pipework into the tank at the back because of the rear filter and hood which are all the way along the back, i dont really want to make holes in the back or sides of the lid but I will if i have too, what do you think?
I have seen a TETRATEC INTERNAL FILTER 1000PLUS, which is for aquariums of upto 200ltr so should be big enough.???
cheers
