Hey guys. I had posted about canister vs sump filtration for a 265 I was possibly going to buy and another amazing deal came on my plate to purchase a 375 acrylic tank for next to nothing... I mean seriously, I basically got this thing for free so I went ahead and locked it down sight unseen.
My question, based on the photograph (I have to drive several hours in moving truck to see it/pick it up Sunday) What all does it appear I will need to complete the built in sump setup. It looks like a nice 2000-3000GPH pump is all that is needed to get this thing up and running but I'll leave that advice up to you guys. Anything else I should do to the filtration? Obviously the whole tank needs a good cleaning and possible buffing but that's not an issue for me. Any suggestions on light, and decorations?
The fish that will be going into it so far are, (2) 4-5 inch chocolate cichlids, (2) 3-4 inch datnoids, (1) 5 inch oscar, (5) 4 inch balas, (2) 2 inch firemouth cichlids and (1) 6 inch Flagtail Prochilodus. I want to use white PFS and possibly add a Ray. I've asked around my LFS and they recommend not putting plecos with rays so my 14inch pleco will stay in my 125 for now.
Any comments or ideas would be awesome.
Thanks!
