90p planted aquarium filtration

[phevos]

Hello everyone,

I have a 90p (90cm x45cm x45cm) nature planted aquarium

Hardware
Co2 professional by external reactor
Chihiros WRGB pro 2 90cm.
Sunsun external Heater 500W

Livestock

• 30 Paracheirodon axelrodi,
• 20 Caridina multidentata
• 8 Corydora pigmea
• 10 clithon corona,
• 8 otocliclus afinis, and
• 5 nerita red spotted,

I feel that my actual canister the SICCE Eko 200 (700liter per hour) does not have enough flow, so I am planning to change it for these 3 options (I tried once Oase canister but is too loud), I´m not planning to upgrade this aquarium in the future so I need something adequate for this size

• Eheim 2275 Professional 4 600
• Eheim 2274 Professional 5e 350
• Eheim 2076 Professional 5e 450

Those Eheim canisters are overpriced crap, just get a JBL E1502 and call it a day.

Your canister should provide enough filtration, it is only flow you need to increase, so you could stick with the Sicce if you're happy with it and add a powerhead for extra flow.

How’s the inside of you filter set up? Could you do more to allow for better flow, what’s the head height? All things worth considering before you spend more cash.
