What kind of filter system do you use with this tank?

It has an opening for the hanging ones. Also you can use a canister or inside filter if you want. I am going with aqua clear 110.

I'm a fan of the Emperor line of filters. I have goldfish in this tank and actually run two filters b/c goldfish are so gross. But I do love them and their cute personalities. I can't remember the name of the exact Emperor filters I'm using, but they use the "Rite Size E" filter cartridges. If you search on that, the Emperor filter that uses that size should come up. If you don't have goldfish, you should need only one filter this size. I think even the next size down is supposed to be able to handle up to 50 gallons. Note: In order to use the two filters, my husband had to cut me some extra space on this tank using a hand saw. But again, I only run two filters b/c I have goldfish in the tank, and I like crystal clear water. When I was was running only one filter, even with a sterilizer, there was still a slightly yellow tint to the water no matter what I did. I also like white gravel, and with one filter, the gravel got dirty very quickly and very often. In any case, I'm a fan of the Emperor line of filters and use them on all my tanks. It's only on this tank where I'm running two filters b/c goldfish are so messy! They are lucky they are so cute and have such gentle personalities. :-)

You can use any filter media you like with these marina filters - not just the cartridges. If it is loose media, I would recommend using a net bag or a bit of panty-hose to keep the bits from coming loose and getting into you tank.

I've used a few different kinds. All work well, but I use the little filters too.

Not sure I bought this for my sister's above ground pool and I don't know what kind of filter system they have.

The casing of the filters are plastic. The tank is stainless steel. I think that the plastic is safe because it has to endure high pressure. I believe that the tank is the most important part. You will be using the water int he tank first

I think that's the membrane I use for mine. Keep in mind that's the membrane, so it doesn't need replaced as often as the filters.

Please read your furnace manual, but I have never heard of only using 1 kind of filter, any kind should work depending how much filtration you want.

I didn't use anything in mine, but I don't use anything when changing the filters either. I just let the tank fill up over the course of a few hours and then I allowed the whole thing to empty down the drain. I think I did this twice just to kind of rinse out the tank.

Sorry can't really help as my setup is small - 30lit tank. I use my Maxi-Jet inside the tank to filter my tank water. It's not the best setup but after spending Au$100+ I'm determined to use the pump for something.

As the previous posters said - the tank comes with an internal filter. Mine is a Jebao brand and it came with a sponge (mechanical filtration). I purchased a Purigen from Seachem 250ml + a single small media mesh bag and added it to the sponge. You can basically create ANY filter with ANY media you want.

I took a piece of filter sponge and cut to fit for in front of the outflow. I was able to put it under the lip of the top cover and close it over the sponge. It really cut down on the flow. The filter also comes with a plastic curved piece that goes over the top to lessen the water flow. Also, the higher you have the water in the tank, the less the current. What size tank do you have?

From what I understand you can use either filter in the unit. I love mine. I'm using the one that came with it currently, but then bought the better filter in a six pack at Costco.

Use of any filter should help, just be sure to include activated carbon to the filter media to control the cloudiness in your tank. You may even want the bigger model for a tank that size.

I bought the 110 gallon and it came with everything you need to start; foam, carbon and bio max. The foam is the filter.

The filter as a filter is complete. Your individual needs regarding filtration in general are determined by your tank setup and population.

Yes, absolutely you still need a filter. The airstones are beautiful and provide a bubble wall putting oxygen in the water. However, this does nothing to suck out feces and other things in the water to keep your tank clean. The size of your tank and the type of fish you have determine how much and what type of filter would be best. But yes, you still need filtration.

This uses the standard regular basket shaped filters. Sorry if that doesn't help, I'm not sure if it's a numbered thing like other filters.
