Re: oppinions and advice needed

Those are good filters I have two and used one on a 55 with 2 oscars in it and it was strong enought o keep the whole tank clean. I was also thinking about running my canister on my 55 when I set it up, wont you have to remove the filter pad or clean it alot to stop the nitrate bacteria.

Re: oppinions and advice needed

Im not going to have filter pads in the cannister,Im basicaly just going to use it like a powerhead.

I built a set of reflectors to go in my light as soon as it gets here.Im shop foreman at a sheetmetal shop here ,so I called fosters&smith and got the measurements and used some thin mirror finish stainless. Just got to mount em in the light.

Re: oppinions and advice needed

I was gonna go ahead and put my sand in the tank after I get it rinsed out,but I got to thinking that maybe I should get my water in there and mixed up first. What do y'all think?
