May I just say a big hello to you all, I have been using this site for a while now as a guest and have found it very useful.
At last I have been able to make room for a Mbuna Aquarium but slightly restricted on length.
I am currently looking at getting a custom built tank that is 36â€x24â€x24†so it will only be 3ft long but have a volume of 340l - 75 gallons or 90 US gallons.
I have done quite a lot of research already but just need to clarify a few things.
External Filter? I read somewhere that Mbuna tanks require a filter for a tank of twice its size? Is that right?
Inline heater? I want the tank to look its best so was wondering about inline heaters that heat the water straight from the filter before it goes into the tank. Are these any good? Was thinking about the 300w version?
Under Gravel jets? Has anyone tried this with success? Would a take of this size need it?
As you can tell I’m a bit of a worrier and would hate to get it wrong so any help would be appreciated.
Looking forward to your advise.
