Need advice about filter.

02-03-2005, 10:14 AM

I'm having 3 feet planted tank with CO2. Resident are 4 adult discuss, 1 clown loach, 5 tetras, 4 adult SAE, 4 Otocinclus and 3 cobalt-blue dwarf gouramis. I'm going to plant more plants (not decided what plant yet) this week end.

I need advice which internal filter would be most effective for my tank. Thank you.

discus produce quite alot of waste.
as such, you will need an effective filter for your tank.
i would suggest you get an external canister filter for your tank.
this will give you better biofiltration (more media can be placed in the canister than in a internal filter) as well as free up more space for your fishes and plants.

It will be better to get a external cannister for a 3ft tank, can get the Jebao 915 which cost $55+/- it work great for my 3ft.

alternatively, you might want to give atman 3337 a try, its not very expensive but its performance exceeds its cost.

If for internal filter, you can get any with flowrate around 600-1000 litres per hour.

to add to that, the spare parts are available which makes Atman
an economical and good buy

Atman is good. Even though you are getting an internal filter, remember to change your water often, cos your bioload is on the high side.
