So I am shopping planning and saving for a big tank. 75 to 150g so far is some that I liked. I started looking at filter options and am getting confused. Understanding the need to turn the water over 4 times an hour, 150 gallon tank would need a flow rate of 600gph. Correct?
So I am finding cannister filters that say they are are good for up to 200 gallon tanks but have a flow rate of 365gph.
Soo is that a marketing ploy and I should focus only on flow rate on a filter?
I like the fluvial fx6. 900gph and and a 10.8 head height. This 150 I'm looking at is 48in wide, 24in deep and I think 36in tall. Not postive on how tall. Was focused at the time on width and and depth for fitting into the planned space. I don't want want a hob filter. Want to minimize the visible hardware all around.
Any other make/model of canister filters. At $340 for the fx6 I want to be sure I'm not over buying.
Thanks all!
