So, had a look at an ADA filter for my small (45x45x30) tank, the recommended ADA filter seems to have a flow rate of 6 Ltr/min...but I was always told to go for a filter that should turn the aquarium volume at least 10 times/hour, or for a 60 Ltr tank, at list 10 Ltr/min...
I understand when Eheim rates a filter for up to 250 Litres with a flow rate of only 10 to 12 Ltr/min since they don't specialise in planted tanks...But I do not understand how ADA can do it...planted is their core business...
OR DID I MISS SOMETHING? Is an ADA filter so much better in any way that it does not need as high a flow rate? And if that's the case, how is it different? What makes it so good?
Thanks
