Reepack 505 or 250

[Rognin]

Hi, I'm debating which to get and where. I live in Canada and the 505 seems hard to come by on the net (even the 250). Anyhow, which would you suggest?

Tank Specs:
55gal
40lbs LR
Tunze Turbelle 6065
No sump

What I already have:
3 x Blue/Green Chromis
2 x pincushion urchins
6 x 1" turbo snails
3 x 2" turbo snails
6 x hermit crabs

What I plan on getting:
2 x percul or ocellaris
1 x Goby
2 x pistol shrimp
1 x blenny
1 x Anemone
Some LPS

Thanks Roger (I think that's the name)!

Unless you plan a bigger tank, I would go with the 250, it is more compact and can definitely do the job. I would use the 505 if the tank was 75 gallons+

Great thanks!

I'll contact my LFS to see if he can acquire it for me. I can't find it anywhere on the net.

JL Aquatics can order it for you. That where I ordered mine from. The new 250 that is.

One more question. Can the Osmolator nano work with the 3162 like the regular Osmolator?

Only the optic sensor mounts inside the filter, either is compatible but the 3152 has no optic sensor, only a float and in either case the float mounts outside the filter on its own magnet holder.

Neat, thanks!
