Hello and how is everyone? sorry if this is the wrong place for this as im brand new to this site.. I have a brand new 29 gallon tank that i recieved for xmas. I am just getting back into the hobby after a 6 year layoff.. I am familer with the cycle process and i am currently cycling w/5 zebra danios. I Know about the fishless cycle but i think its a case of old habits being hard to break..anyway cycling is going good... for my question, the top fin tank came with the topfin 30 filter, I am throwing this filter in the trash first chance i get. I have two filters picked out that im choosing from, the AC70 and whisper EX70.. i just plan on doing a general community tank.. no goldfish or chiclids, just a community tank w/mosty danios, corys and maybe a showcase fish(thats my next thread).. First off are the 70 gallon versions of these two filters gonna be too much gph for my 29 gallon tank or should i go with the AC50/EX50? also, between the two which one is a better filter? the whisper is a tad cheaper around me. I plan on doing weekly water changes as before i was very very upkeep on my tank..im just banging head on wall between the whisper and the AC.. I love the look of the Whisper though... i also dont plan on using my own media in either filter. i dont mind spending every now and then on the store media so this is not an issue.. so to recap, AC or Whisper and is the 70 versions too much gph for a 29 gallon community tank? thank you very very much..
