So I'm shopping for a canister filter and I'm seriously considering the SunSun canister filter from ebay for my 20g HIGH tank. The canister is rated at 264GPH. Although this number is far too optimistic, will there be too much flow in my tank?
Right now I have an AC70. Since I'm injecting DIY CO2, I have a sponge dampening (not blocking) the output flow. There is minimum surface agitation. I have the hagen ladder to diffuse the CO2 and on top of it, I have the Hagen Elite (small filter/powerhead) running attached to a small DIY reactor (used fish food container). As you can see, there is a lot of equipment in my tiny tank, which is why I'm considering going with a canister filter where I can just put the CO2 in the intake OR make an inline output reactor.
Thoughts? Thanks
Edit: From what I have seen in pictures, the canister looks enormous as well as the hoses. I never owned a canister filter before. Thoughts?
