Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hey guys!
I have recently acquired a 3 foot tanks (specs: 92 cm x 47 cm x 36 cm) which calculates back to 155 litres or 40 gallons.
I've been looking into the filter in there, and discovered it's rated for a max of 100 litre (27 gallon) tank. (Aqua Pro 103F).
I can get a 180 litre an hour (48 gallons) filter for $65 AUD (it's literally just the model up) but it's rated at twice the wattage so it's going to increase the tanks power consumption.
My question is, how seriously do I need to upgrade this filter? Can I keep it in there, or should I get a upgraded one as a priority?
Cheers!
Ben
