need rec for filtation sysytem

[jonboy]

I have owned an aquanetics system pack filtration system for my 200 gallon fresh water tank for 20 years and i have located my system in the basement giving the pump a head pressure of 12-13 feet.

As i understand aquanetics is out of business and i had planned to purchase their system pack number 197 which incorporates a powere german pump for my situation--any recs on where to get something comparable for my situation?--i.e. a new pump system-canister preferred--chemical,mechanical etc

Hi jonboy and welcome to the forum.

It's great to welcome an experiencet fishkeeper to our ranks and I hope you make friends here and stay with us even after your problem is solved.

Why not start a thread in the Newbie section to let everyone know you are here and perhaps another in the Tropical Chit Chat section, if you do not get an answer here. That section is busier than this one and will be seen by more people.

I'll be looking forward to reading your posts.

I'm looking for suggestions too. I have a 20G planted tank that needs a new filter. I ahve a whisper 40 and it is just OK. I bought the penguin biowheel but it is really loud. Sounds like a brook running through the room. It might work great bbut the noise would drive you to tears. I am thinking of going to a canister filter. If you want to check out canisters here is a great link comparing a whole bunch of different models.

I hope it helps you, I'm still confused. I'm thinking of the eheim ecco or the fluval.

I have never heared of aquanetics. is the tank drilled.?

if yes then just fit a sump with a large pond pump such as a aquamax 10000 or an ITT marlow if your not bothered about running costs.

in no, then just get a couple of large external filters. because the water will autimatically syphon top the level in your tank, there will only be the resistance of the tube.
