i think ther can be to much filtration... you dont need the whole back glass of your tank covered with sponge filters... that is kindof excessive to me... the best combo (i think) is a main filter like a canister/wet-dry/power that has a rating at least 5 ghallons above the tank volume, an undergravel filter, and if you really need it, an internal filter to aid your main one, like a sponge filter or a small internal filter. just make sure the water isnt getting ripped into a whole bunch of directions

yeah, questions are great, but all the /././././././././. is annoying. just letting you know, not trying to be mean or pick on you.

and they are right. if you go WAY far over your filtration, like putting a 75g rated canister on a 10g tank with 6 tetras and a betta in it, that is definately overkill. other than the current, having so much filter capacaty won't HURT anything, but its just overkill and there would be a lot of wasted filtering capacaty that would be better used on a larger tank.

but a 40-60 gallon rated hob on a 29 is totally fine. that's about perfect actuallly. you do want to go a LITTLE over when filtering, just to be safe, its just not necessary to go WAY over.
 
I agree with RC. it's always a good idea to have a little more filtration than you need. like, I have a filter made for a 20 gallon tank filtering my 10g.
 
at least all the happy crap in the topic line let's everyone know who is asking without much effort. and it seems to have gotten peoples attention--lol. Maybe a method to the madness?
