Hey guys!
Its been a while since ive logged on, college has gotten very hectic.
Ill finally be setting up my 4foot (47"L x 18"h x 15"D) planted aquarium.
And the one thing that i still havent decided on is where my filters should be placed.
Ill be using my current Fluval 305 plus another larage external, ive been thinking of getting a Tetra Tec 1200.
Ill cut to the chase..
Ive seen lots of people putting all the intakes and outflows on the one side of the tank ie George Farmer. You can see this here in the 2nd picture http://www.ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1038
But ive also seen people putting one of the filters intake and outflow and the back right handside of the tank (so the flow is flowing along the back of the tank) and the other filters out flow and intake at the front left hand side of the tank (so the flow is running along the front of the tank)
This can be seen here http://www.aquascapingworld.com/magazine/September-2008/September-2008/Down-the-River.html
Seeing the great success George and many others have with the "all on one side" technique had me pretty much dead set on using that placement.
But now seeing this other technique it seems pretty logical and would give very good circulation.
What do you guys do with your filters?
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
