I have a 130 gallon planted discus tank. The filter is an overflow/sump. The return from the sump goes through a nice Lifegard micron filter. I also have a HOT magnum on the sump for chemical/mechanical and a fluidized filter for bio.
I am noticing a lot of debris in the tank mainly from the hungry discus. I have five 5 to 7" discus in there. The overflow just does not pick up a lot of the heavier crap and it gets caught in the plants and looks unsightly. :smile:
I have been usin a powerhead with a foam intake prefilter to try to increase the circulation and thus the amount of debris that gets to the sump. But this does not really fix the problem.
Can any one recommend a filter for the mechanical job? I was thinking of adding a Eheim 2028 or an XP4 or ??? Any other ideas?
