Filtration system

[Jorgieee]

I'm new to nano reef and salt water aquriums, I'm planning on doing a 65 gallon build the dimensions are 36.5"x 20.5"x 21". I do not know what filter to choose from or get their are many options to what i can choose from

For a tank that big I would go with a sump.

As large as you can fit under in the stand, and get to all your equipment.

 

Your 10 gallon? Get a heater and AC70 for it and make it your QT or hospital tank.

 

10 gallons is a why-bother size on a 60 gallon.

 

 

Remember you need extra empty room in the sump for when the power goes out, a 10 gallon is just to small, 1 will get you 20 that it will flood first time you turn off pump.

There are external canister filters like the fluval 306: http://www.amazon.com/Fluval-A212-306-External-Filter/dp/B005QRDDWY/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1402892620&sr=1-1&keywords=fluval+306 And several Eheim filters that would work, but all your equipment would be in the display. A sump is the way to go.

I also recommend Zeovit.

 

Use your 10 gallon tank for ATO reservoir or hospital tank.

 

That fluval above would be good filtration on the 10 gallon hospital tank. Dont even think if putting that on a 65 REEF tank.

Why Zeovit?

Go with as large a sump as you can fit underneath. You won't regret it. Sumps are awesome for many reasons.

Why Zeovit?

 

Because its an effective fitration system.

Depending on what inhabitants occupy your tank determines which filtration system fits your needs. For me, simplicity and reliability are paramount. To that end, I choose inhabitants that are easy to care for and use a lagoon biotheme mixing easy to care for corals, fish and macroalgae.

I would consider Zeovite as more than effective. With proper use, it provides spectacular results. However, it requires much attention to detail. IMO, Zeovite is for advanced, dedicated hobiest with the time and skill to optimize its implementation.
