I have an Aqua One AR980 (capacity : 71 USg)
The tank has its own filtering system which turns over 1000 l/hr.
A few months back the power head packed up and in my desperation i went out and purchased an Fluval 4 Plus internal filter (this also turns 1000 l/hr), as i couldnt find any genuine aqua spare power heads. The fluval filters actually been quite good.
Im about to 're-do' my tank, attempting to turn it into a plush green planted aquarium.
Ive just found a supplier of genuine power heads, which means ill be able to re-instate the tanks own filtering system.
My question is this : if im to create a heavily planted tank, would it be worth while leaving the Fluval filter in, to run alongside the in-built filter, as this in total would be able to turn over nearly 2000 l/hr or is this overkill ???
