How much filtration?

[Pyramid_Party]

Im putting my brown puffer aka monotrete turgidus into a 29 gallon in a few days. I already have an aqueon 20, but I wanted to add more filtration. Should I add an aqueon 10 or another 20? Or any other suggestions?

Think most people try an have a turn over rate of 6-10x an hour for their puffer tanks. So another aqueon 20 would give you 250GPH which should be about 8x an hour.

I agree ^

Ok, then (2) Aqueon 20s.

I prefer Aquaclears, myself.

Aquaclear 20?

I prefer overkill. I'd go with the 50 or 70.

So (2) AC 50s/70s?

I dont know how many gallons per hour an AC70 turns over, but the AC50 is 200 so I would imagine one AC70 would be enough.

Could always pick up another 50/70 if you need more.

1 should be fine for a single puffer in a 29g.
