    Has anyone perhaps used one of these filters, I want to get myself a budget filter for now to just run as startup unit on my 120l tank. If there is anything better out there i can get this one at R280. Help is much appreciated

    Will be mbuna cichlids - have a resun b700 water pump which can also be a aerator with extension tube to top but its unf not a filter.

    I am also wanting to get black sand but it seems my surrounding pet shops in randburg/bryanston/northgate is all out of stock only bigger gravel

    I personally wouldn't keep them in anything less than a 4ft...but that's just me.

    You might find that even though your turnover is nice on that tank (think the F300 is 1000LPH if I remember correctly)...being around 8 times per hour, your room for filter media is just not nearly enough.

    You'll have to clean them regularly, but in your price range, you're prolly better off using 2 or 3 sponge filters IMO...
