Filtration

[Armand]

hello. if you have seen my other thread you will learn im new here. im very happy to be a part of the community here at MFK! i currently have 6 juvenile red bellies in a 29 gal tank. before you tell me its too small i know. thats why i have this question. i have a marineland 350 bio-wheel filter and a cascade 1200. will both be sufficient on a 110 gallon glass tank? the penguin (marineland) is rated at "up to 350gph" for a 75 gallon while the cascade is rated at 315gph and up to 150 gallons. do you think both of these combined will be enough? i dont plan on feeding feeders to my fish. only pellets and occasional treat of raw peeled shrimp or fish filets.

Yeah those combined could cycle your whole 75 gal water 8.8 times per hour, good enough.

For a pygo tank it is recommended a rate of at least 3 to 4 times pero hour.

It's a 110 Gallon tank being discussed. Not 75.

Probably be ok for awhile with those filters but more is better. I have used fluvals for years with no complaints, except maybe on restarts lol. I remember when they were brown. then black. now gray....
