SRC Member CooL_anakin Posted August 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2003 Better put some styrofoam to prevent the tank from slipping off the smooth glass if you shove it accidentally... By the way, i think the top filter is not very avisable... Maybe you can tell us what you intent to keep and we help you see how large is your bioload.

SRC Member SpiderOne Posted August 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2003 the styrofoam is for evening out the weight distribution at the bottom of the tank. i dun think u can accidently push a 2ft marine tank off a table top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member CooL_anakin Posted August 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2003 Lionfish have quite a heavy bioload i heard.. Other fishes you want a bit lesser bioload... Some liverocks would help i think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member CooL_anakin Posted August 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2003 Yeah... No harm giving your tank a slightly more decent filtration. After all you will be able to keep a few more things in the future if you do. By the way can the overhead be replaced by a canister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member CooL_anakin Posted August 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2003 I have a spare eheim canister 2213. It maybe good for your tank. Willing to help by releasing at lower price. PM me if you want. Better don't PM too soon i think it would be better to listen to other opinions 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
