Canister filter

Is anyone selling a canister filter big enough for a 630L tank...I need a +2000L/ph canister...east rand area

 

1500 lph may be too small bud. For canister on that tank i would suggest nothing less than 3000lph

 

Correction...2000l/ph true water bucket test....

 

Ok.

 

I already have another 1200l/ph fluval canister + 2000l/ph internal filter...I just need One bigger canister...For now just gonna have 6 clown loaches till I decide on more...maybe some tiger barbs

 

I once read an article by the prof regarding filtration. According to him, when buying a canister, one should ideally get one strong enough to filter 5x the total tank volume. This is because of a smaller media surface area. A sump on the other hand can filter 2 - 3 times the total tank volume.

cool.

 

Actually you are right...It should be x5 your tank volume yes...But one can't have to much filtration

 

Totally agree with that. Over filtration is never bad.

 

I turn the water in my 120P at least 8 times an hour with my 2 canisters, can never have too much filtration, unless you are plastering the fish against the glass, thats too much...

 

lol

 

I am planning a 630L Clown loach & tiger barb tank with two Bristlenoses

 

You can never have too much filtration? -Agreed, ...but filtration is not necessarily turnover volume.
Imagine you have a system turning over your tank volume 20-30 times per hour. What is that going to help?
You need a bacteria colony which is adequate for your tank, and the tank must feed these colonies. If there is nothing to convert, the colony is not going to grow, no matter how often you chuck the water through your filter ....
