can u over filter I have a 90 gal and always wanted a canister right now I have 2 aqua 110s but came a cross a fx5 canister for 150 buck new

would this be ok?

No such thing as to much filtration, but there is to much flow.

 

[nathanden]

so would a 400gl filter be to much flow?

and would there be a way to reduce the.flow

What kind if fish do you have? You could probably add the fx 5 and take off a 110 and be okay

 

[nathanden]

mixture of African cichlids

Right now you've got some good filtration and with the fx5 I think you'll blow your cichlids around. My recommendation would be if you got the money get the fx5 and run just one 110. Or just keep using the 110s and save the money

 

[nathanden]

ok thanks ill prob just keep the 110s
