Hello everyone,
I am looking to get 2; 4 gallon cubes a them. They are for really nice male bettas. Would it be possible to run 1 maybe 10 or 15 gallon canister filter on both tanks, with a simple Y splitter on the intake and outtake lines. The tank are not going to be parallel to each other. They will be one on top of the other and the canister will be under both. I have read a bit about this and heard that I risk on tank overflowing and one tank running out of water.
Is this a serious risk if I have enough power to compensate. If I go with a 15 Gallon filter I would suppose that the power would be divided equally and I would get 7.5 per tank which is a bit overkill, but I am guessing better safe than sorry.
Any insight on this from previous experiences or anyone that has successfully done this?
