Filter Question

[riffraff]

morning all.

so i was wondering what`s the minimum size filter i could buy? i have a 330 litre tank running an xp3, but i want to run another filter alongside it, worried about over stocking after rescuing a few fish at the weekend,(4 rainbow kribs and a bn ) i dont want to have to get anything to expensive if i dont have to, would a smaller filter be ok? ie something for a 200 litre one?

cheers

Although I would say, if you can afford it, buy the JBL e900, if you can't the review in the latest practical fish keeping of this filter is rather appealing!

evening..
oops nurglespuss i sorta misread your original reply and ordered the aps one

anyway i`m on nights this week, and was today awoken by the ups man hammering on the door, the filter had arrived (free next day delivery) got up signed for it , dumped it in hallway and back to bed, this evening had a quick look, decided to get it ready for tommorow, and ended up having it all done and up and running in 45 minutes, cool.

first impressions...its very big!! easy to install, all media with it, bit flimsy on 2 of the catches, and very quiet.

i`m off to work now, cant wait to see the results in the morning, so thanks again nurglespuss, wasnt the jbl but still thanks to you looks like i`ve got a very good filter.

cheers

Yes, sounds like a gentle touch is needed with those catches ;p
