filter for small tank

**darter** · 11th Oct 2011, 12:37

Hi,

Going to start a small 1ft tank for my office desk. What kind of filter should i be using. Tank will have 5cm depth of soil. With some moss for a crs tank. Am rather partial to have more space for bio filtering.

Noticed there is a eden 511 model. Any place selling them?

i think seaview has it, not too sure, need to call to double confirm. c328 has other brand of small canister. remember seeing 1 small canister with 200L/H selling at 20 plus only. starting with S don't know wad 301.

Shiruba 303 will still be my choice compare to Eden...

**darter** · 11th Oct 2011, 23:53

Price wise? Im more towards a bigger media capacity.

**Apistoinka** · 11th Oct 2011, 23:55

Think it had 3 tray and one blue note...

**darter** · 13th Oct 2011, 07:58

**tiintinn** · 13th Oct 2011, 10:29

Hi If I'm building a mini 1ft by 1ft by 1 ft vivarium with about 9 litres of water (less than half full water) for FBN, would the eden 501 or Shiruba 303 be sufficient?

Can try aquacompact 20 or 40 by ehiem.

With regard to the aquacompact, no doubt filtering will be awesome. but IMO for a nano vivarium, space is already a constraint, and trying to high or disguise this will surely be difficult?
