ND Aquatics 4x2x2 with Eheim 2075
Plenty of people have asked me about my tank, cabinet, and filter combination (does it all fit comfortably, what's the flow like, etc). Here's the video to hopefully clear those questions up. I intend on adding a duplicate filter/heater set up on the other side of the tank shortly. Tank is still cycling hence no livestock yet.

in part 1 i've asked why my filter doesn't really suck things. and why fish crap keep swimming around my tank.
well, fish crap doesn't really keep swimming if i remove internal filter. i run both filters together "to see" how good is this external filter (eheim 2213) when it comes to mechanical filtering, which is what i want. (internal one was throwing fish crap directly to the sucker end of the external filter and it wasn't able to suck it unless directly hits one of the slits)
the thing i don't like here is this: when i was having only an internal filter it was catching a lot of solid debris. now, running only external one, things stay just where they have been shat... no any mechanical filtering at all.
now, running a powerful internal filter means you will make solid debris swim around your tank, right? and running only an external one like i have will clean smaller stuff while leaving big crap for u 2 clean. which is better if u do that every week?
did i get this straight?
