Now that's what I'm talking about!

I got an emp 400 on my 10g.

put a 2262 stuffed with LR on that ADA of yours Thai

lol, honestly I was thinking about getting an eheim 2215 for it but that's still way to much flow on such a little tank. Maybe I could run it with just the hose and no spray bar.

The 2262 might bust the glass on this thing.

450 gph on the 2080

i know my bad, i was thinking about something else...

Turning your water over 21.5 times per hour. That may be a record that stands for ages to come.

I've always made sure that I'm getting a minimum 4.5 to 1 ratio on my filteration. I think anything about 4x per hour turn over in filteration is sufficient. It's worked for me for years and my fish are happy.

i know lots more people does 10x turn over rate or more, and it also depends on what you are keeping, and how often the tank is cleaned... my turtle tank gets a ac110, that is 5x turn rate, and its still not quite enough...

yeah I had an Aquaclear 110 on my 10gallon for the a couple months. not it is on my 20gallon!

i remember that tank, grow out tank was it? thats what give me the idea to put more filters on my tanks, now both my 10g has the ac30 and the zoomed 501 on it

there is nothing wrong with running more then what you need, as long as the flow rate doesn't bother the fish, my plants is also growing fine in it...

Can't agree more!
