Aquarium Advice Newbie
hello everyone,
I am considering setting up my 90 gal tank with a sand bottom. I have been doing some research and it seems that most advise to use a filter 2 or 3 times larger than required. This is where my question comes in. WHen saying larger is that implying that I would need a filter that is intended for a 300 gal tank? Or is it that I would need a filter that moves 3 times the water in G.P.H? (for example my 90 x 3 = a minimum of 270 G.P.H). Any help would be greatly appreciated,and any recomendations for what brand and model of filter would also be welcomed. THanks in advance,
Scott
