Too Much Current ?

[Joe Fish]

I just Set up a 150 gal tank for my 3 Severums 8 inch ,2 Festivums 5 inch, 2 Jack Dempsey's 4-6 inch and 2 Blue Acara's 4-5 inch
my fitration is 2 Emperor 400 hob's and an ug with 4 aquaclear 70 powerheads
the water seems to be moving pretty good and fish dont seem to be struggling too much. I have a few large rocks and a couple large pc driftwood to break up the current a little any thoughts on the current will it stress the fish after a while ??

no, they will find their way....

 

[Joe Fish]

do you think its enough filtration for the tank size and fish load
I vac the gravel every other week and alernate rinsing the emperors once a month

[Joe Fish]

Any sugestions ?
I am thinking maybee a fluval 404 (its on sale for $99)

 

[gomezladdams]

That would work,im going to be using the same on my 125 minus the ugf

 

[Joe Fish]

I am going to order it today
What are you going to put in your 125 ?

i run 2 404 fluval on my 125 gal i have two oscars and 1 pleco all 3 are about 12 or 13 inches each

I run 2 on a 55 one for mech filtration and one for bio and might be an idea for your tank to run one as a high flow mech helps to keep your others filters going longer between cleanings
