    Hi everyone I'm trying to find out if it is best to just get a canister filter that will push 4to5 times your aquarium volume or is it better to go more than that if possible? I know they normally say more depending on how heavily stocked your tank is and the amount of plants. Hope someone can assist thanx as I'm in two minds.

    My current canister is 700L/p hour and I have a 30L tank... All the fish are happy and healthy :) Plants are in great condition and the algae is minimal
