Oh so ur only filtration is those 2 canisters ? I doubt they will be sufficient for such a large volume of water as yours...

Ya guess I have to wash the canisters more often...there is this back wash system so it's would be easier for me...

super nice HUGE FGT!

This canister type filters requires a powerful pump to push the water thru, creating high pressure. ? does that mean u have two pumps inside the FGT or did u create a compartment for the pumps? Cos I am wondering how to change the pumps if there is a problem?

There are 2 pumps in the fgt...if I were to change the pump, I will have to remove the PVC pipe and place a new pump and place it back in abit tedious but im ok with it...

Yes he did...but the tank is alrdy too high and it will look very out of place...so I op for this option...2x laguna pressure flo 12000 ...washing the this canisters isn't very difficult with the back flow system.....
