Thinking Of Upgrading...filtration Question

[Tim A]

HI everyone,currently I have the 32Gal LED BioCube. I am thinking of getting an 54 gal corner tank, cause thats the largest i have room for. What would you use for filtration on this?

 

[Alexanneka]

Are you planning to have an overflow box with a sump or are you talking hang on back filtration?

 

[Tim A]

As of right now, there would be no sump.

I’ve been running a canister on my 120 since i filled it exactly 1 year ago (january 1, 2017). Started with a jebao, but a valve failed, so replaced it with a penn-plax cascade 1200, which appears to have better quality valves. Has run flawlessly since early november. I only use use seachem matrix and gfo. I think either of these would work well for your tank. For some reason these links go to the american amazon...

I do have a couple fluval 304- 404’s sitting around, would those suffice?

Probably. I had a 404 back in my freshwater days, and was never very happy with it. I switched to an aquatop and noticed a huge difference in water clarity. But, perhaps it just wasn’t enough turnover for a 120. Might be sufficient for your 54.
