is two filters to much?

[cujo]

I have a 50gal tank I installed one aqua-tech 30-60, and one whisper 30-60. The whisper is ajustable, but the aqua-tech does not look to be. I do not have fish yet due to cycling process. Is this to much for my tank? I am wanting to get large fish, but I dont want to hurt them. I dont see any current from the filters but again I dont have fish yet.

extra filtration is always good. especially if you are wanting large, messy fish. why don't you drop something in the tank and watch where it goes, to see how much/how strong the current is?

I have two filters in my 55g tank sounds good to me.

I have a 10 gal tank with one a snail in it right now (cylcing the tank). I have two filters one set to low and the other is a non-adjustable one. The snail loves it! He will climb up the frill plant and let go and "fly" with the water current. He takes 2 or 3 "current rides" before stopping on the side of the tank or at the bottom.

Its so funny seeing him go round and round!

definately the way to go. If i could, I would (eheims are expensive though)

Think of it: More filtration=more filtration media=more beneficial bacteria=cleaner water=less frequent water changes
