Just about to pull the trigger on a EHEIM professionel 4+ 350t for my 3month old 200ish litre heavily planted aquarium.
it's rated at about 1,050.00 l (1/2 the 10 times turnover needed)
I have; 14 neon greens.
5 x German Rams
'Loads' of cherry shrimp
and about 7 Amanons.
Thinking of increasing stocking a little more in the future, it would be more nano fish, like some mosquito Rasbora for a bit more activity, so the bioload isn't crazy.
Additional info. Tank is really suffering and not sure why, stunted plant growth, greenish/yellow dust algae everywhere . I have other planted tanks which are pristine. It's a sumped aquarium which i haven't really delt with before, whilst the others have filters that are alot bigger than required. The sump isn't very well done either tbh and and i think it's off gasing a lot of CO2. I'm EI dosing and have 2 kessil a360s tuna suns 12inches above it at %45 intensity 100%colour running 7 1/2 hrs a day. PAR is about 50 at substrate.
Thoughts?
