Hello, I am currently planning a new planted tank setup after having stopped fishkeeping 10 years ago and need some advice on filtration.
My tank measurements are 150cm x 60cm x 60cm, taking into account the substrate and rocks/wood decor I can assume there will be around 450l of water.
From my previous setup I have 2x Eheim 2026 canister filters, specs below.
Technical Data Eheim Pro II 2026
Aquarium size up to approx - 350l
Pump output approx I/h - 950
Del.head approx Hmax - 2,0m
Power consumption - 20W
Canister volume - 9l
The aquarium I got has the bottom drilled for a sump, but I really don't like to have the overflow box showing in the corner of the tank. So if I go sump wise, I will seal the bottom hole and I will have to look into a external overflow box, unless I am convinced otherwise. With the aquarium I also got a Jebo GF3300A sump filter which has a 4000l/h pump and measures 41cm x 49cm x 47cm height (pic attached)
Could you please advise if the sump is too much hassle? Or if my 2 eheim filters will cope with the fish and plant load etc..?
