Hi There
I am setting up a new aquarium for the first time in 20 years which will hold approx 430 litres. I have always in the past used Eheim filters and have been reccomended to purchase the Pro 3 No 2075, which has a turnover of 1250 litres per hour and is reccomended for tanks up to 600 litres.
I have however seen on the site for 'Filtration & Flow' that a rate for turnover should be at least 10x the tank capacity.
At this rate I would need 3 of these filters which would be very costly. Is this correct, and if so, what alternative should I be looking for.
