Thank you both, I'll opt for the 600. Cheers!

Hi all, I am going to be setting up a Juwel Lido 200 soon and I am planning to buy an OASE Biomaster Thermo filter but I am wondering which model is most suitable for the tank. It is a 200 litre tank that will have sand, easy to keep plants and a normal tropical community when it comes to fish...

Thank you for all the replies, I did not expect my very first thread on this site to have such detailed replies. I think I am going to go with some aquatic soil in plastic filter bags topped with the B.D. Sand I posted a link to earlier in the thread. It will give me some options if I do decide...

Thanks, are there any particular types? With a white tank with currently no background but I do have some opaque covering I can put on the back I wonder what colour of sand would be best?

H All, I'm new to the site but not new to fish keeping. I currently have a Roma 90 that has been running for 4 years and is doing well but I have bought a Juwel Lido 200 in white. In my Roma 90 I have a group of C. Habrosus that are very cute and have been breeding. The substrate is Fluval...
