Eheim-AC110-Powerhead

[joshclovis]

I have a quick question. I have a 55 gallon tank. Would an eheim ecco 2236, an AC110 and a powerhead be too much water circulation and filtration?

Depends what fish you have in there matey

For piranhas you could have 10x that flow, for betta fish you wouldn't even need circulation..

Ok cool. I have some angels and gouramis.

whoa there.. Depending on the type of gourami... they dont mix with angels.. Are they the giant gourmai? Kissing gourami or dwarf gourmai?

A powerhead is ok.. but Angels dont really need powehead.. they are calm fish.. they prefer slow moving water.. kinda like discus..

But if u really want to.. u can..

Too much filtration is never enough. You can always find a way to diffuse circulation. This is obviously within reason of course - no need for a canister filter on a 2.5 gallon tank.

Thats what i thought.... ya.. u should be fine.. but I dunno if u need the powerhead...

But an ac110 and a 2236 is def enough... I have a similar setup... its a 60 gallon with ac110 and eheim 2228.. and i need that amount of filteration for the tank since i have 15 young plecos in there.. the bio load is necessary..
