brockssracer Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 if it was the only filter on the tank a 2213 min. but 1000lph would do it nice and keep it crystal clear. id say using spray bars on them as well to keep the flow down a lil.

FIIK Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Im with brock, Ehiem 2213 would be great. Redlands Pet Centre is doing great prices on them atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pony-tail Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I would suggest - Fluval 105 Aqua-One CF500 or CF700 or Eheim 2213 if funds are available I believe 1000 LPH would be ridiculously excessive on an 18 inch tank and would cause too much current for Angels or Tetras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holden1862 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 2113 but im worried about to much water flow Aswell, fish will be getting swept away ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discus_noob Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I use 2215s on 45cm x 30cm x 35cm tanks and do not have any issues. I also use a 2215 on a 40cm cube too. I would maybe try the 2215 or 2213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
028NVD Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 id say slightly over filter, maybe an fx5, otherwise 2213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holden1862 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Oh yeah I'm sure an fx5 would be great in this little tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
