Newbie Filter Question

[anthonyhnj]

Hi, i just purchased a 20 gal Long tank with a Penguin 200 bio wheel filter. I have the tank up and running for a few days, added fish from my 12 gal eclipse tank (neon tetras bala shark, and some barbs.) Is this filter at 200 gph to much for the tank, seems to be a strong current in there. The neon's seem to be swimming against a strong current.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

As long as your fish arnt being swept away by the current im sure it will be fine. Can you not reduce the flow or put some rocks/wood in the way of the outlet.

BTW you know that you should't really have tha Bala Shark in there. You need some thing around 100Gal for these

I am just finding this out now. It would really be nice that the people at the store that are selling these to you would tell you that. but i guess that they will never sell fish then.

Thanks for the info
