Always room for one more tank...
I've just set up a 90L (3ft x 1ft x 1ft) tank for dwarf african cichlids, and have just added a Fluval 4+ internal filter.
The filter is massive, I didn't realise it was so big. It stands a couple of inches above the tank - not in itself a problem. I just wondered if the fact the bottom of it is resting on the substrate (play sand) is going to be a problem?
If not, I'll jury rig something to redirect some of the output towards the edge of the tank or something, so the flow rate doesn't cause problems in the tank. Or buy a spray bar for it.
If having the bottom of the filter resting on the substrate is a problem I thought about replacing it with a Fluval 2+, and was wondering if that would be powerful enough?
Cheers
Chris
