Over filtering

[TenaciousTriggerFish]

A it possible to over filter a 1 or 2 gallon tank if it just has shrimp/snail in it?

There is a possibility of too much flow, but more filtration, in terms of the efficiency of the filter removing particles, will never be a problem.

Well a big canister filter?? I think it's rated to thirty gallons it's a fluval

You cant really over filter.

I second this.

Imo more is always better in this hobby...(with in reason). I always have double filtration.

I'm slightly confused as to why you'd need a filter for a shrimp or a snail...I think the substrate should hold enough biomedia for just either of them...

So you think with water changes it will be good?

Your still gonna need some sort of water current/movement.

I have a nice small power head and it should work great
