Tetratec Ex700 On A Trigon 190

[mrapoc]

Hi

I am thinking about getting an ex700 and using it on my 70 litre tank (on a lower setting) until i get my trigon 190. Is it powerful enough for a trigon 190? Its 700 litres per hr apparently ^^

Thanks

I have chosen the tetratec due to its good value for money and supposedly just as good as eheim...tetra customer service sounds good too

anyone?

will it be enough flow or should i go for a different one? the ex1200 will deffo be too strong for my 70 litre lol

What fish are you going to have in the 190?

I would just get the ex1200 and turn the flow down until you move over to the bigger tank . It would be fine.

As for fish ill be carrying over my 6 corydoras, 10 cherry shrimp (to arrive on monday), 2 black widows and a leopard danio. Im thinking a shoal of tetras and peaceful fish. Not sure what ill have in there really but no messy cichlids - i like crystal clear water mind you

You'll probably end up with messy fish anyway, it usually happens .

But yeah, I'd just get the ex1200, once the flow is turned down it will be perfectly fine.

I agree and would go with the ex1200. An ex700 will turn your tri190 over just over 3 1/2 times an hour, which would be ok i suppose for the type of fish you plan on having but an ex1200 will turn it over just over 6 times an hour which will make it cleaner and healthier for your fish... i had a tetratec ex1200 on a trigon190 that i use to have with no problems.. infact i still have it on my current tank. Best filter i ever had, cant fault them..
