Looks good, i do like those 3d backgrounds.
Had that tank, filter and gravel at one point for a female beta tank
Nice bit of wood you got there. irc that plant on the left is more for terrariums so it may die off in the coming weeks. (or thats just my excuse for dying on me!..)
Never thought or that, thanks for pointing it out
Hi I have been looking for a used 200l tank with external filter and none in my area so thinking of just buying new and that’s why the questions
Thanks
I have a U1 in a small tank which is basically the same thing, just smaller.
Some would say it’s too small but I’d say it’s adequate but only just. Plastics and motor are good quality but as I’m sure you’ll be aware it’s an ugly black box in the tank.

Hi yes that’s why I would go external, but will give it another week or so to keep looking for a used set up
Thanks

You are correct, and the plant has already started splitting, I will have to replace it going forward.

I've got four, mix of new and second hand, my favourite internal filter.

I have a U2 that has been chugging away for nearly 3 years with no problems.
A few photos of my current setup and some of its occupants...
A small group of Rhombo Barbs
Red Tailed Black Shark called Bruce
Our Bulldog Pleco called Dave
One of our Zebra Loaches
And a very large shrimp that the wife just HAD to have.
Im due to deploy to the Falklands again in Feb but once I return we plan to either upgrade to a larger tank or start a new venture in Marine Tanks.

Anyone here keep fish only or fish only with live rock tanks? I used to keep several tanks over 10 years ago including reef systems but have always wanted a decent fish only tank as I can't be bothered with the hassle of owning corals, and the more "reef unsafe" fish have always fascinated me.
I did it once with a small trigger fish.
Did have a massive problem with algae on the rocks once though and some sort of seaweed plant, can't remember the details really, was a good 15+ years ago.
I do remember spending the day taking out rocks to scrub with a toothbrush and buying a UV unit.
After that it went pretty smoothly, the seaweed kept coming back, but I encouraged it, I would take the rock out and put it into my reef tank for the day. Tangs went crazy for it.
I think the problem with most "reef unsafe" fish is that they can be messy eaters and they tend to end up eating your cleaning crew. So some sort of mechanical filtration does help.
