looking 4 filtration!

[cpitt]

just picked up a 220 and only have some hob filters left over, I'm in the market for some canisters like xp3/4 fx5 etc if anyone has any they are trying to get rid of. Also I've never done a sump before but I'm open to it if you can provide some assistance with the sale.

There's a FX5 in one of the for sale threads in the market place.

Hmm I have Huge Dual chamber Pro clear 400 wet dry filter/sump with bio balls and filter block for $250, or Fx5 brand new unopen for $220. Item located in D.C

Is your tank drilled??? I assume not or you would be in the market for sump stuff......
Depending on what you plan on putting in it, a sump is a great way to add "extra" filtration to your tank.... Personally, I would have some sort of redundant system on it. ( cannister, plus sump sort of thing)
I have seen some heavily stocked tanks work very well with this sort of thing going.

I know you can run to a sump without drilled holes, but I have not done it myself.

If I were running a sump with a 220 in marine, I probably would have about a 75 gal sump.... I'm sure others may have a better recipe for the size but my thing has always been "bigger is better" you cannot ever have a big enough sump, so the largest you can possibly put in there is the way to go..

good luck.....
I'm jealous...

yea my tank is not drilled. I do have an extra sunsun 304 canister that will be my redudancy filter. Just looking at the best solution for this guy as far as cost/effectiveness
