Hi folks. I have a 190 litre (50 US gallon) Fluval/Hagen Venezia corner bowfront tank. This came supplied with a Fluval 205 cannister. I am making the switch to Tanganyikan cichlids imminently and have starting reassessing my filter's capabilities.
I keep reading that manufacturers' ratings are never enough and this has got me thinking I will need a bigger filter, especially given the number of rockwork now in the tank where dirt is likely to gather. I am reluctant to run two filters due to the extra pipework that would go in the tank.
I have been thinking about getting the Fluval 405 to ensure top notch filtration. Would this be overkill or produce too much current?
if you are not familiar with the Venezia tank, the intake/outlets are plumbed in through the bottom where the tank is drilled. With this in mind, am I right in saying that the fitting for the fluval 405 would fit my hoses from the 205 (which they would need to to fit my set-up)?
Sorry for the long post.
