I I will be setting up a 60 gallon tank it will be a few months or maybe over a year before I move and set it up I have two filters that I plan to use for it and I want to know if it will be enough. Here is the type of fish I plan to have.
Gourami
Pictus cat
Red glass barbs
Tiger barbs
Kulih loaches.
I don't know how many of each yet. I will be moving from my current 29, and I plan to add a few more as time passes.
Here are the filters.
Aqua-Tech 20-40=160gph
Aqua-Tech 30-60=330gph
My total gallon per hour would be 490. Now that I am doing the math I can see that the recommended amount is 300 gph. I have more filtration than needed, but I do plan on being overstocked, according to that silly 1 inch per gallon rule.
I also want to know if I should place the filters at opposite ends of the tank, in the middle,all to one end, or does it even matter?
I think I have everything in check, but I always like to hear other people's input. I'd Luke to add a new type of fish and I would also like suggestions on what will go well with my current stock.
