I currently have a tetra power whisper filter for 60 gallons. I have a 55 gallon. I bought it used with my tank and I want a new filter as it is a little more run down.
My tank is on the overstocked side. I obviously keep up with my water changes to make sure my stock is healthy. I like the look of overstocked tanks - I take the price!
My question is... I'm wondering if I can buy a higher powered filter than recommended. Say... 80 to 100 gallon filter. Is that okay to do? I don't want my fish to get stuck to my filter intake! I have everything from giant angels to little platys.
The top of my tank is weird I would like to add a second filter and do two 60 gallon filtration systems but unfortunately my back is weird. And because it's used - I have no idea what it is, how to replace it/fix it/whatever.
This is my current filter
Sorry bad picture. This is the left side of my tank on my hood. No open slot for a HOB filter
