Filtration... Is there such a thing as TOO much?

That statement is just one more stupid thing that people say and others keep repeating.

Of course there is such a thing as too much filtration. Don't believe me? Hook up a Hagen Fluval FX 5 to a 10 gallon tank and tell me how it works out.

well, some people seem to be a little on the heavy side with the water polishing :) that's fine, but not absolutely necessary.

I certainly don't bother. As long as the nitrogen is sorted out then that's fine, and the water stays pretty clear.
