I'm planning on purchasing an Oase 400 highline but am unsure of what external filter to buy.
First option is to purchase the Oase Biomaster thermo 850 (provides 1559 l/h). However, some sites have stated 2000 - 3000 l/h is required.
or
Option 2, to purchase the Fluval Fx6 filter (appreciates I need a heater as well) at 3500 l/h.
Question: Personally. I would prefer the Oase but don't want to purchase, if it's not up to the job. If recommending the Fluval Fx6 would this fit in Oase highline 400 cabinet / sliding platform, are tubes etc. compatible to use in Oase highline 400 dry chamber.
Note: I don't want to use a second external filter but would be okay with using an internal filter as a second filter, something like Oase Bioplus thermo 200 (providing 650 l/h) would this give me a combined total 2250 l/h or does it not work that way.
Info: Plan on using the usual easy to grow plants and have some Cardinal tetras (10 off), Rummy nose tetra (10 off), 1or2 Dwarf gourami, a german blue ram and some Otos.
Question: Also, trying to workout my layout for the Aquarium / position, does anyone know the lengths of cables for the following equipment: -
- Oase Illumination kit
- Oase Biomater 850 filter
- Fluval Fx6 filter
Question: Lastly could anyone suggest a good extension lead for an aquarium set up.
Any suggestions greatly welcome.
