The eBay gods have been very, very kind to me this week and have allowed me to pick up a 6feet x 2 feet x 1.5 feet (110 gallon) tank very cheaply complete with a 250 watt heater and an Ultra Jet UJ3337 external pump which flows 1000 l per hour.
Although I got it all cheap, the filter does need working on, namely the outlet connector has spilt and it needs new o rings. The pipe work has stiffened and is not really suitable any more.
My plan is to clean up the tank, replace the sealant on the front as it has algae growing between it and the glass. Once this is all done I want to swap all the equipment from my 4 feet tank (50 gallon). This is 2 Eheim 2213 filters one with spray bar, one with diffuser. The combined output of the filters is 880 l per hour. 2 x 150 watt heaters, a 36” day light tube and 3x12 LED blue night light.
The question is, it a good idea to swap everything? I have no problem with the Eheims, they are brilliant, water clarity is crystal clear, the filters are well established biologically. The heaters are brand new.
All help, comments greatly received!
Cheers!
