Thats Deeeeeeeep!!

You must have extra long arms to get to the bottom ....
Or you could just put a small child in it! It could the the special "swimming fishtank game"

I have two Questions,

1. where are you planning to put the tetratec?
2. isn't the tetratec EX1200 a bit on the small side or are you planning on running two filters?
(especially as you will be keeping messy fish like cichlids)

I thought that too. I would have more than just one 1200, personally.

[bennett418]

I have that filter on a 60USG and wouldn't personally use it on anything bigger than an 80USG,

It is a top filter tho
