225 small community and canisters

[mopani]

ok, I have talked plenty of times about this tank, I am gonna have it stocked full of small fish, biggiest will be is my royal, and i have tons of guppies, would a fx5 or a 2262 intake suck them in or the flow to pushy, atm i have 3x AC110s I am gonna use but really like my canisters atm

I can speak for the 2262 and pretty much say no. I have 2 on my 265 and tons of convict fry swimming around. It never seemed to be a problem for them. Hope that helps.

Shouldn't be an issue with healthy guppies. You could always put a pre filter sponge over the intake to help reduce the pressure a bit while also preventing the canister from sucking in all that Royal pleco saw dust like poop. Just clean the pre filter once per week.

the AC110 should be good,you can slow or adjust the output if you need to
