Hi,
I have a 125 litre tank which has is planted with Java fern, anubias, and crypts and has a selection of corydorus, lemon tetras and rosy tetras. The tanks also is injected with a low level of co2.
We currently have 700l/h Eheim running which I think is not powerful enough to distribute the co2 and effectively clean the debris that collects.
Is the 10x rule (10 x volume = flow) still the rule of thumb? If so I guess I should be looking for a flow rate of 1250 l/h.
With this in mind I was looking at either the Eheim Pro 3 600 + hydor inline heater or the Eheim Pro 3 350T, both of which come to about £260. The other option I am looking at is the Eheim Pro 3e 600T (with the flow turned down)
Any thoughts most welcome on the above filters
Thanks
