Which one would be more suitable for a 160ltr tank please?

The Aqueon is been unreliable for temp, I bought a Eheim heater and its holding temp well, for a tank your size the 300w should do the trick, rated for up to 250g

If you are using it to run an undergravel filter I'd go with the 20-40 gallon. If you are just using it for bubbles, I'd say the 10 is fine. It is very strong and puts out a LOT of air.

I bought the PGI-5 tanks that Amazon suggested. I should have looked in the printer.. They are definitely the wrong tanks and they will not interchange with the PGI-220 tanks. The -5 tanks are shorter than the -220 tanks.

Might be overkill for a tank that small. I believe Hydor makes a smaller version than the 425 that might be more suitable...

If its a 65gallon long tank then you probably want the 900. If it's a 65gallon tall then you should be OK with the 425 if you place it in the middle

Both. The tank filled noticeably slower after I installed it. I also could not install it without leaks. The rubber washers are not sized correctly.

The more filtration the better, plus you can adjust the flow rate on the unit. I have the 406 in my 55g and it keeps the water crystal clear...and I mean CRYSTAL clear!!!! You should be fine. This is my first canister filter and I love it. I have to check behind the tank sometimes to make sure its running it that quiet.

They only recommend the 3152 for tanks up to 50 gals. so the 3155 might be a better option for you.

Daniel,You would be fine with either. The RC62 is certainly a better sounding option if you can fit it!Eric C

I am using the 406 on my 60 gallon tank. Prior to that I had a 55 gallon that I was using the 406 on. I like it better than the 306. Some may say is a little overkill but that's how I like it.

this is the right one for you then. Some people are buying this one to go to a bulk tank directly, then they have to buy an adaptor for the tank side, which is dumb because they make another hose that fits the bulk tank.. The fitting is larger on the bulk tank. The fittings off of your tree should be the same size as on your stove, correct

I would get the biggest one that fits that tank....I have been satisfied with the large unit I have. Built well enough.. Qapla

I personally like the larger, as it gives me the flexibility to move it to a larger tank later on. It does use more power, and it does give off more heat, but the heat issue should not be a problem in a tropical tank--or even a gold fish tank. You also have a larger filter area, which is advantageous. A money-saving note: I do not change the filter element. Once or twice a month I simply direct a strong spray of hot water on the filter element to clean the filter portion and to reactivate the carbon. I have done this many times, and it really saves on filter elements. The In-Tank filter is so much easier to deal with than the older box filters. Enjoy your leisure now!

I do not know. I have not used my as of yet. The data says you can use it with R-22. Therefore I would start with the connections on the tank and move up the line. Now the tanks, have apparently differently fittings. and this is where you may need to buy the special connectors.

I have 3 tanks and find it best to have one on each side for my larger tanks 155 and 265. I have only one on my 55 gallon. I would go with one large on one side and see how that does, it wont hurt to add a smaller one one the right side if needed.

I have 2 koralia 1650 in a 125 (72 inch length) and they are too much for the tank as a placed a partial obstruction in front to tame them down. I also have 2 850 which do not seem enough. For a 55 gallon I would stick with the 850 to 1000 range. I do like their magnetic base and wide column of water generated. I have mostly crushed coral salt tank with some aragonite sand. The sand is a problem with too much turbulence. Just one of the 1650 will transverse the whole 72 inch tank

I would go with at least the 50 watt. Probably the 100 would be better. You can always put it a little bit diagonally in the tank. it is ok to fully submerge even the top part. I would consider going with 2 50watt heaters with one on either end of the tank for a more even heating effect. Plus both heaters would last longer because neither one would have to work as hard.
