is this filter powerful enough?

[qtheepie]

I was gifted a 29 gallon thank with a Marineland 100 filter, I don't think it's powerful enough, I would actually like to over filter (when I get more fish and plants), what do you suggest?

[KTK]

Well the first question is.... What are you putting in it? Fresh Salt?

[DeadGF]

I'm not a fan of that filter. AQ or go Canister. Sponge and Substrat Pro

If you want to plant you tank I would look at a canister, an XP 1 is going to be more then enough.

i'd go with two filters, regardless of what types/brands, just in case one konks out.

maybe go with a canister and a hob? i find that combo works well on pretty much any tank/stocking/etc. perhaps Rena XP2 and an Aquaclear hob (have the hob rated for the same or greater than the tank size). that'll overfilter you right good! lol.

thanks, it gives me a direction to go on!

If planted i'd have an internal on the inside with a CO2 line going in as backup filtration ( which is what i have a powerhead for )

And then a primary filter - EX AC50, or XP2 for a tank that size.
