I was interested in getting some a new filter for my 20gal long. I know the dimensions of the filter are 15in long but i was curious if anyone has any experience fitting two of that size tank.
Penguin-BioWheel 350s

1 would be enough. If you put two you would kill your fish over stress. The output of the filter will be too much for a 20 l

If buying new, go with the emperor instead of the penguin. Same filter with extra media basket slot. Can mix your own media in it, or remove and use the space to grow potholes outta the filter.

That's going to be a lot of strong current and a lot of filtration for a 20L. What kind of fish are you planning to put in there?
Well currently it houses three feeder goldfish from my cousin. I typically use this tank as a quarantine for my much larger saltwater system. However, i would like to hatch a baby bamboo or coral catshark in this tank this summer. Also I believe in always over killing filtration. I've heard the emperor 400s are slightly better, but the penguin 350 is almost half the price so i could get 2 for just a bit more. Also, i have never used the cascade 300, I've had more experience with the bio-wheels. Current filter on the tank is a tetra whisper i had laying around, which IMO are kind of crappy.
yea i have always used the penguin 350 and also have a emperor 400, but i really like the cascade 300, you can adjust water flow during feeding time, it is super quiet, and they are cheap, like 30$ and they do 300gph same as the penguin 350. but i like both products i just know i am happy i got the cascade 300 and gave them the shot.
Just out of curiosity, would you happen to know the dimensions on the cascade 300 because that is actually very important
i don't i know that the arm that goes in the water you can adjust inch for inch i think it goes down up to like 8 inches or 10 inches they do not have the double flow this is what they look like http://www.petsolutions.com/C/Aquarium-Power-Filters/I/Cascade-Power-Filter.aspx its just the new school type of filter, looks cheap only because it is see through
Thanks for the link. The filter is actually only 13.5" wide so i could definitely fit two of these cascade filters on the back of the 20L. So now i have options.
