too much filtration?

[yoimb0b]

I'm in the process of moving to a downstairs room so I have all my fish split between a 75 gallon and a 60. My 75 has alot of fish in it and I currently have a fluval 304 and a xp3 on it. I have a fx5 that I will be using on the 240 that I am setting up, but i think I'm going to put it on the 75 for a few weeks. It has never been used. Anybody see a problem with this?

No, but there may be quit a bit of current.

You can never have too much filtration. Too much current might be a problem with some fish though.

Just wait and see if your fish give you the finger while stuck up against the glass from the current.

I kid

Just try it and if you see they are being bothered by the flow, tone it down a little.

Too much filtration,NEVER! haha

Personally, I think an FX5 is grossly excessive for a 75 gallon.

i dont see any problems, all the facts have already been stated.

you can always point the current into the side of the tank or into some fake plants.
