ok if i use the 2 1/2 in sandbed in my 75 and switch only that sand over to my 250 and then add like 10 pounds of sand giving me a 1 in sand bed will that be good enough for a shark? i just dont want to buy a ton of un needed sand so i figure if thats good enough why buy more than that thanx and also what are peoples oppinions on the canister filters whats a cheap but good brand and how well do they work and how easy are they to use again thanks

I have a Via Auqa 750 Canister Filter. It works pretty good. You can fine one for about 90-100 bucks. As far as maintenance they are pretty straight forward but you have to disconnect hoses, open up the filter and clean the media trays. I wouldn't recommend one if you don't enjoy cleaning filters. I don't mind cleaning it so I think it 's a pretty good filter. I run a black one inch sponge and charcoal in the trays, which I clean every week. It keeps the water sparkilng clean. :joy:

No modifications needed. The aforementioned canister filter comes with everything you need. It comes with hoses, spraybar, and suction cups.Pretty easy to use. You can set it up anyway you want to.
