Hello! I was wondering what the gph of a filter should be per gallon.
For hob power filter? Canister? Internal?
Thank You!

I know lots of people aim for 7-8 gph per gallon with HOBs, 4-5 with canisters. This really depends on bioload, though, whether you need more or you can get away with less.
Thanks! So, I'm planning to get a 75 gallon tank soon (possibly for goldfish). Would a marineland magnum 350 canister and an aqua clear 70 be enough? Or would 2 aqua clear 110's be better?
You could get something like the odyssea CFS-750 canister, that would get you good filtration and at a pretty low price. You definitely want lots and lots of filtration with goldies.
Could I run an aqua clear 50 70 or 110 along with it? (Or does the canister provide enough filtration?)
At 750gph, the canister should provide enough filtration.
I think that, looking at the price, it would be more economical to get a CFS 500 and an aquaclear 50. You would still get 700 gph but you would save a few bucks.
The 700 has a uv sterilizer built in. Is it worth the extra money?
I honestly say no. A uv isnt needed and the bulbs are expensive to replace. The 500 and an ac 70 is gonna be better and cheaper long run
Ok. What GPH would that give me?
If im not mistaken around 800gph if everything is properly maintained
Cool! Thank you so much for you and bud's help! I appreciate it!
