I have decided that I am getting another 33gal tank. it will be a while because I need to start saving dough that would normally go to starbuck's in the morning, etc. the tank is 4 feet long and a foot deep, if I have one tetra whisper power filter for 60 gals on one end will the other end be filtered evenly or should I have 2-20i or 30i's (one on each end)? I also rather not have one filter in the middle. the store owner said to just throw in a box filter and it can be hid so that you always have a good amount of bacteria growing in there so the fish are healthy, is this true? please reply with your opinions!

I would go for an external filter. 4 foot like 120cmx45x45 thats like a 64gallon tank right there sweet oi. if you had a filter on each end that will most liklely produce alot of current witch some fish dont like.

yeah its 4 feet but its shallow (12"), so should I get one filter for one end? what should I do? and the box would be for extra filter of the gravel. thanks Steen16

well according to aquarium calculater its 30gallon. nice tank

yea should be ok with one on one end

fishlover78

thanks, and is the box filter deemed useless for keeping a good amount of bacteria in the tank?

the filter isnt the only thing that holds the bacteria, the gravel the ornaments and any filter will hold good amounts of bacteria

okay, so I don't need it but its good to have?

Steen16

yea i guess it is.

fishlover78
