    Default Filtration - please advise!

    I want to get rid of my canister filters.
    I have the following:

    200L - millenium 3000 hang-on.(equiv. to aquaclear 500)
    130L - aquaclear 300

    in process of setting up a small 100L - aquaclear 200.

    i have a spare ac500

    note: in the 200L and 130L I have canister filters running also,but as i mentioned,i want to eliminate those.

    Without the canisters,i feel it wont be enough filtration.
    my question is......
    what other filtration would you add to these tanks??? more hang-ons?? sponge filters,etc.

    thanks.

    The aqua clear 500 is more than enough to handle the 200L (40 gallon) tank just fine.

    130L = 32 gallons, so the AC 300 alone is also fine.

    100L = 25 gallons, I'd add an air driven sponge filter.

    I run two sponges inside all the aqua clears. If you want to add extra filtration, just add sponge filters.
