Aquarium Advice Freak
Hi all- I need some advice from u guys on this one. I had an aquaclear recently just die on my main tank, so instead of going cheap, I thought I would go gold and buy either the 280 or 400 emperor filter. I have a 20 gallon tank with 4 2" keyholes, 1 4" Dojo Loach, 2 1.5" Chocolate gouramis, and 1 5.5" BGK. I plan on upgrading the tank to a 30 or 38 gallon tank soon to accommodate them. Would the emperor 400 be overkill even on those bigger tanks or would the 280 be fine on my 20 gallon tank now and be good on those larger tanks I described?
Also, regarding the emperor filters, are they a noisy bunch with the spray bar driven bio-wheel? I ask as it sounds like that would casue some splashing, which is not a plus to me as the aquariums are in my bedroom. Thanks
