Finally got my second canister in

[Indianafishkeeper]

Tank is now getting the full 1100 to 1200 gallons per hour of filtration

Plus I only paid 87.00 for it ! LFS black Friday sales

Dumb question here..how big is your tank? is that why you need 2 canisters?

 

[Indianafishkeeper]

Its a 150 both filters are rated to 150 gallons so with just one filter it qas just enough filtration in my mind

Got's ya...It's interesting with filters, when you think about it all filters: HOB, Canisters etc....basically do one thing...suck water in, move it through a media of some type and flush it back out. That water flows through the media, will get cleansed of the various tank detritus: poop, plant leaves etc...and the bacteria/activated charcoal in the filter will interact with water to clean up the ammonia etc...You got a great deal on your canisters and the two will certainly keep your tank a sparkling. I guess like car fanatics we fish nerds live and die with filters....whereas autonerds live for more performance/speed out of the engines....;-) take care and good luck with your 150...

Thanks ! And I agree my marineland filter houses all of my media and I put for filter floss on the second can really just to help hold and catch all the fine particles floating around!
