Hi All,
So I am in a dilemma regarding my filtration, I had every intention of a 60cm tank, and last minute took the plunge on an aquascaper 900. I only have a JBL 701 currently and even though it will start off low tech I know this filter will not be enough. What I love about these filters is that they are quiet and only draw 9w. I have the stainless steel pipe set with top skimmer on inlet.
Im ready to pull the plug and buy another filter and my budget is really £150-200 maximum. I initially thought about buying as big as I could afford like the jbl e1502 or the aquael ultramax 1500 and just go with the one. However, I started thinking that maybe a smaller canister and run the 2 together with 2 sets of pipes, assuming that this would possibly give better flow. Also if one filter failed atleast the other would still be running.
Whats your thoughts on this? appreciate any advice you can give. For those that are not quite sure of size the Aquascaper is 90x50x45 and approx 200 litres minus hardscape soil etc, and i guess will end up with maybe 150
Kind regards
Paul
