Fish Fanatic
I have a Rio 240 with Fluval 104 & 304 external filters (which are soon to be replaced with 2 X Eheim 2071's) and would like some advice on setting them up correctly to get the best/correct circulation.
At present I have the intakes in the back corners about an inch off the substrate, with the outlets just inside these at the top. The 304 outlet points across the back of the tank (right side in picture) and the 104 points to the front but angled in towards the middle of the tank slightly. The heater is to the right of the 304 intake opposite to the direction the outlet is pointing.
The tank is very much in it's infancy so far as plants are concerned, the tank and filters themselves are well established but the previous owner didn't have any plants in it at all. I am planning on having a reasonably well planted tank but still maintaining plenty of viewing area for the fish.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
