Hia, I got hold of a 8000LPH filter for my large 6ft atm its running on full whack, the tanks 130gallon i'm not sure about Liters.
Is this too much for my pair of oscars?
Cheers
Fernus :-)

you cant have too much filtration but you can have too much water flow, but usually this can be adjusted,
hmmm, cant shift this name

Hi interesting point-and i believe alot of fishkeepers don't consider this! i put a fluval 2 on a 2 foot tank and it caused chaos-so turned the nozzle to one side and that seemed to help!

Hmm not too sure what the thing i've used is called but it swirls the water around and stops the flow from going completely ape. It came with a hydor external I've got on my 4ft and seems to have done the trick. There is a tap that came with the pump so if i get any probs i'll use it!
Cheers for the advice.
