Emperor 280 or 400?

[repsolrspower]

hey guys, just bought a 26 gallon bowfront. I bought the Emperor 280 which is good for up to 50 gallons, but now I am contemplating on getting the 400 instead since I know it will fit.

What are you recommendations? Stick with the 280? or spend the extra money and get the 400 to be safer?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Id stick with the one rated to 50gal unless you are planning on upgrading the tank. theres not much you can have in a 26gal that need that much excess filtering, so stick with what you have.

very true, the 400 will creat a lot of current in a 26 gal. i think your fish would stress from it!!
