ok, need some advice

[rick4him]

So I'm about to buy either a Eheim 2213 or 2215 and a Coralife 24 inch 2x65 Watt. Questions -
bulbs - Should I get 2 6700 bulbs, or 1 6700 and 1 10,000?

Also this is my first can filter - I have no idea how they work.
Where do I put the tubes?
Same side of the tank, opposite sides.

How far down in the tank does the inflow/outflow?
Do I use a "spraybar"
where does it go if so.

I have a 25 gallon tank, and running pressured co2.

Re: ok, need some advice

I would put them close to each other having the spray bar push the water surface and the return well below the spray bar making the "dirty" water come back using the rolling effect.  This has been very successful for me in my tank.

Re: ok, need some advice

So you would have the spraybar on the bottom pushing up? Is it going to uproot my plants and send me gravel everywhere?

Also if u put them close together wouldn't the intake just suck in all the good water coming from the outflow?

Re: ok, need some advice

I would not use the spray bar with a co2 injected tank.....counter productive.

What zulaab meant was to have the output up top and the tube for the intake at the bottom.....both hanging right next to each other.
