After much debate with my husband we have decided to upgrade the filter on my tank.
I have a 40g breeder.
I am running a Penguin Bio Wheel 200, 200gph and recently added my old Elite Hush 35 (unsure of the specs and can not find them on google). Both are HOB.
It seems to take a while for the water to clear after a PWC and I added the little filter as a top up. Things seem to be looking clearer after the addition.
Despite the Penguins suggestion of up to 50g, I do not think it is quite cutting it.
We had discussed UWG filters however after what I have read there is a 50/50 on those. People seem to either love them or hate them.
So for that reason I will not be doing that.
I like the idea of the canisters, just for the neatness. Sure they have other great qualities right?
I am liking the reviews of the Fluval 305. I am a little bit scared as I have only ever delt with the HOB filters.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction, like, yes the 305 will be more than enough..., here are the additional items you will need to run this...etc...
Thanking you all muchly!
