to many fish

[b0b1]

i have a 20 long with fry about 50/3/4" or so, n the tank is always cloudy so my question is how big of a filter can i put on it? could i put an emperor 400 on it? thanks MFK

Emp 400 will work fine, just cover the intake with sponge so they dont get sucked into it.

Over filtration is never a problem. It's the flow rate out and in, in terms of fish being able to swim in too stron a current, or being sucked into an intake.

i was more worried about the weight on the back of the tank. i put a penguin bio wheel 150 filter on it and i was wondering if i put another penguin bio wheel 150 filter on it filled with bio media would that be to heavy n break the tank? thanks MFK

emp 400 - fine, cover intake with whatever works.
