im in the works of setting up a new 45gal tank for discus and plants. what is a good canister filter for this set up? i have a tetra whisper already but i kinda want to get away from it. any info would be great.
I like my fluval as well, but soon someone is gonna come here n start trash talking fluval and tell you to get an eheim .
if you have the $$ definitely get an eheim, they're top of the line. Fluval is below them and then you got all the Chinese knock offs on eBay. But a lot of people have had a great success with them as well.
I use a Fluval 306 on my 40 gallon breeder and it runs perfect. I love it. If you can spare the money go with the 406 but the 306 will do fine in your tank.
For high light the general rule of thumb was 4-5 watts per gallon. That rule doesn't really apply no more, but still gives you an idea what you're looking for. But if you want a high light tank you need good substrate, co2, ferts. Its not just about the lights anymore.
Yes they're the right kelvin temp for plants.
