To much current?

[Stix_oz]

G'Day all, i'm curious as to if you think my 4ft 70G planted tank has to much current?

I have a Aquaclear 110/500 (500 Gal/H) on one end of the tank and a $40 600 Gal/H submersible filter up the other end.

It's not quiet a "whirlpool" but i have plenty of water movement

Is this to much current?

What is the differance between a submersible filter and powerhead?

Tank is stocked with Anubias, Java Fern/Moss, Swords and crypts

10 Congo Tetras
3 Longfin Corys
3 Bristlenose
2 Bolivian Rams
2 Kribs
1 SAE

Thanks in advance

IMO it isn't too much current. Your fish will tell you if it is though. They will try and hide away from the current if they aren't happy with it. Your bottom feeders will not mind the current at all. The only ones that may not like it are the rams.

Cheers i guess i will keep an eye on it, i think the rams and kribs would prefer it in less current, they do get blown around a little bit sometimes. I just don't know if it is better to give them highly filtered slightly fast flowing water or moderately filtered slower moving water :s
