Daughter #1 wants a fish tank and, as she's supposed to look after this one herself, I want to run it as low tech as I can.
I have bought a Juwel Korall 60 (I guess about 45-ish litres of water allowing for substrate and not filling to the brim etc). My only concern is that it comes with a very simple internal filter with one filter sponge and a 270l/hr pump. This feels too low to me and feels likely to limit both stocking levels and plant health quite considerably. I see three options:
0) Keep it as it is, its fine.
1) Replace the pump head with a Juwel 400l/hr unit I have laying around.
2) Get a better internal filter.
Any advice appreciated. BTW, if you vote for Option 2 you have to suggest the better filter make and model and it has to fit into a water column of the order of 25cm high
