Well it depends on what kind of filtration system u prefer. OHF, Canister (Fx 5 would be good), sump or ios?

Thx for replies , i like the canister type but ive heard the biological filtration nt so good. . . .Can just take.those box filter and fill with bioballs? And whats the price approx.for fx-5?

Hi brother, the possibilities vary greatly in in terms of filtration type and media...
Perhaps you should read up on them before deciding. Should also consider what fishes you intend to keep, the number of livestock, planted/non-planted? Some filters could be too strong for your fishes to swim happily in your tank while some fishes are sensitive to water conditions. It's quite hard to recommend filter types w/o much information.. :) |

Sump tank would be my preferred choice but still have to depend on what type of fauna in the 5 feet tank.

Canisters is what i currently running on as my main system maintaining them is a chore as i do not have the money to get a sump system. A fluval fx5 cost around SGD300+ if i remembered correctly. |
The fishes going in are small now , but do grow big . Probably no $ for a sump too so i guess canister sounds good :) , and anyone know weather a.few box filter with bio balls will work?
