Christina717 said:now when i get the 40 gallon tank i plan on getting the aquaclear filter that does up to 70gallons. can i also add my other filter that does 20gallons to it as well? after the tank is cycled of course. And how many goldfish can I put in a 40gallon 3 right? I plan to stick with the ones that only get 6' I wanna have a telescope an oranda and a ryukin? or however its spelled
You sure can add the other filter. It is a good idea. I like redundant, parallel filtering. That way if one goes down, then the other can help. I have an Aquaclear 70 and 50 on my 55 gallon. I wish I had two 70s. You have it right 3 goldfish are all you should put in a 40 gallon.
Edit : Recommend putting the 70 and any other filter on while cycling. The 20 can at least seed the tank. Any media or substrate even from the bowl can also help kick start the process.
