A brief history:
My tank holds 60ltrs of water:
Thought my old filter was on way out (Aquael fan 2 plus - 450lph) ......
Bought new (better?) Fluval U3 filter (600lph).....
Put new one in tank with old one .....
Reduced power a bit on both....
Did I do right?
If so, how long will it take for the new one to be ready? I don't want to mess around with moving media from one to the other - I don't mind both filters being in there for a bit.
As it turns out, the old one was just a bit blocked & is working fine .
I will leave the new one in the tank though, as it seems to be better & has bigger flow rate and the old one will be fine for a little inevitable tank #2
