turtlechick Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I found him :-( There was only tail left.......got it out though. Now, what if I picked up another AC 50 and had 2 in there? Would that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qattarra Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yes of course. Keep in mind how many fish and certain "pigglet" ones , the more filtration you need. A good way to look at it is if the filter can process 10X your tank volume at least every hour , you should be good. ie. for a 40 gallon tank , a filtration of 400 per hour is great. On the box you'll see the numbers are roughly 4X. IMO , that simply will never be enough unless your tank is very low populated. So my newest filter I acquired is a Elite Hush 55 , recommended for 35 - 55 US Gal. IMO , no way would I use it exclusively on anything bigger than a 25Gal. So to sum up my ramblings, aim for at least double what the product claims it's good for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORVETTE Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I find you can never over filtrate just over stimulate. What i mean is there is never to much filtration you can just cause the tank to be to turbulent for fish to swim. I run 2 110 AQs on my 90 along with a strong power head and my fish love it. If you were going to buy another filter for that tank go bigger more filtration is a good thing to little and you will have to buy more in a couple of months as you fish grow....
