Hello all,
I'm going to be setting up a planted 90G tank shortly and wanted to ask for your thoughts on filtration. Traditionally, with smaller tanks, I've had the hang on back filters... now I'm thinking of a canister filter. I was looking at the Fluval FX6.
My questions are:
- Can you all recommend a canister filter for this set up? I realize there is an Eheim camp and a Fluval camp, etc...
- For those of you familiar with Fluval FX6 and similar set ups, will the FX6 provide too much current/water flow in a 90 gallon? (http://uk.hagen.com/Fluval-fx6)
Basically, the LFS recommended the Fluval 405, but I'm not sure if that might be a little light weight given the tank size... I want to go bigger if I can without turning the tank into a **** river :flamed:
Would love your thoughts!
(PS - will post on lighting in a separate thread, sorry in advance if it seems like spamming)
