Hi All,
Im about to set up a 100l tank with an external filter ( I can get a very good price on a Fluval 207). The Betta Albimarginata I plan to move into this tank have shown me that they really dislike any water movement at all. I plan to setup the tank as a biotope, and sadly that involves having a sparsely planted tank ( a few crypts and maybe some Buce higher up) with leaf litter and branches so I'd like some room for biological filtration in the canister, hence the 207. I'm just worried about having too much flow from the tank, and wonder if anyone has any strategies for slowing the flow down? Is it as simple as restricting the outflow and maybe having a spraybar facing the glass rather than into the tank? Or should I invest in something like a glass spin pipe?
Or should I try and get a large hang on back for this type of setup instead?
