Green Spotted Puffer Fish
Hey. My Green spotted puffer fish is in a 60L tank at this stage while i am waiting for 120L to arrive...
Now i just want to know if a 400L/hour internal filter would work in the 60L tank?
400L/Hour = 6.6 cycles/hour...
Would it not create to much flow for Peanut????
And would it be advisable to maybe buy a larger/stronger filter that i could just transfer to the 120L when i get it???
Dude
I have a 600l/h internal in my 430l tank, and it’s a bit heavy for fish, if it put it on max, my fish are all over the place!
Always in need of another tank!
And if i disperse the current? Would it work then or should i rather go with a smaller filter?
I would go for a smaller filter.
With that sort of flow rate the poor fish will be plastered to the glass
what would be an appropriate flow rate be then for the 60L tank???
My understanding is that a flow rate should be 3 x the volume of the tank / hour.Originally Posted by BugMan
So that would make it 180L/H, say 200L/H would be what I would aim for.
I think a 400L/H would be a little to much, maybe 300L/H. Basically what you can do is add some sort of thing to make the current flow the other way or down. My bro got a little thing to change the flow of his filter with a cascade.
Ok... And what if i use one of those cascade extensions that makes the water fall back into the tank? I don't know exactly what it is called...
That would be perfect, as it doesnt create current, but adds bubbles. Look at picsPhoto_00016.jpgPhoto_00017.jpgPhoto_00018.jpg
That is exactly what i'm talking about... Thank you @matteffect...
