Over filtering

[iLLestQ]

I have a 150 gallon tank with 2 hon marineland 400's im looking at getting a fluval fx6 and nixing the hob filters completely, my question is will that be too much? Its currently sticked with a dovii, rd, jaguar and 2 p bass any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated

No such thing as too much filteration but you can always use the fx6 mainly for bio and put filter floss in both of the marinelands so its easier to do maintenance.

I would consider 2x emp400 under filtered for that size tank and stocking. I think adding a fx6 would be just about right. I used to run 2x ac110 and an fx6 on my 125 until I borrowed one of the ac's for another tank, and I only have 1 fish in the tank.

You can never have too much filtration. I have a FX5 and want to add a FX6 to my 150g.

Keep the 400s running and add the Fx-6. Like was mentioned earlier just those two 400 running isn't enough for that Tank.

No such thing as too much filtration. Maybe too much current, but doubtful for those guys

With the kind and amount of fish in your tank, I believe you will be under filtered, even after adding the fx6.

I have two 400s plus and AquaClear 75 on a 65 gallon tank. Seriously.

 

[ehh]

This is the filter I have on my 40 gallon.


I think you'll be ok.
