Recommendation on size of eheim canister filters and hailea chillers

**zhou yuande** · 16th Nov 2011, 06:53

Hi all bros and sis,

Currently I have a 243 litres (4 footer - 2x1.5x1.5ft) tank running with rena xp4 filter and keeping crs using fans only. The tank is resting on a low aquarium cabinet of internal height of not more than 56cm (overall 70cm). Am considering upgrading to an eheim canister to be placed inside the cabinet (prefer big or more trays canister for media) and hailea chillers. Would really appreciate if any bros or sis could advise on the models of eheim filters and size of hailea chiller to be used.

Thank you for your kind advice.

Sorry don't really get you is your tank a 4 footer or 2 footer??? with the amount of water sound more like a 4 ft than a 2ft cause you put 4 footer - 2x1.5x1.5 typo?

4 footer is 500++ litre if I am not wrong.

Hi bros,

Thank you for the replies.

@avex30: sorry, typo error. It should be 4ftx1.5ftx1.5ft
@BFG: the size is 120cm x 45cm x 45cm
@khseah79: it all depends on the size and model of eheim canister filters if I am not wrong

Appreciate all advise from bros

Thank you
