So I've been out of the hobby for many years and recently picked up a used Roma 125. At the moment it's cycling with an internal fluval 3. I want to upgrade to an external ASAP but getting mixed information on which filter.
Years ago I thought the recommendation was for 10x turnover so for my 125l tank I would be looking for 1250lph filter but most places I ask are now saying x4 so would be 500lph.
I was looking at the All Pond Solutions 1400EF seems very reasonably priced but don't want to order it if the flow is going to be too extreme in the tank. While they say its rated at 1400lph most reviews are saying you can half that number sonit would be around 700lph, which seems a happy medium between what I thought and what I've been advised?
