Water Clarity vs. Water Movement
I currently run two HOT Magnums with the micron cartridge on a 60 gallon. I'm
planning a 120 and am working out the fitration. The Magnums provide plenty
of water motion, but unless I use the microns, there are always enough
suspended particles to be annoying. The downside is, they only last a week
before clogging, and can't be doing the motors much good. For a tank as large
as a 120 (48x24x24) what is the best filtration? I hear recommendations for
Eheim but do they provide crystal clear water without cloggin frequently? I
also hear recommendations for simple sponge filters - like four of them on
powerheads in each corner? Or would one of the big Ocean Clear cannisters
with a micron work best? Thanks for any experiences shared in this size
range...
