I'm finally ready financially to upgrade Renley's filter system. Right now he has two 75 gallon in tank filter pumps, but I'm looking to redo it with a large canister or multifilter pump system. I live in an apartment and hope to use pvc instead of hoses for fear of leaks. I like to think of myself as handy but don't want to spend money on a filter that would be impossible to adapt to PVC. I'm also hoping to use a uv sanitizer along with a 300 - 400 gallon pump filter. I'm planning on making a false bottom out of pvc mesh for the tank where all his poop and excess food will drop down and be sucked up by the pump filter. So I was wondering if anyone has had any useful hints or success stories with canister filters and adapting them to PVC. Which filter was used and what parts were needed for adapting?
Please and thank you for the help.
Renley, Adam & Anthony.
