Filters

[killer2004]

I'm wondering if my filtration system is good or not. I have 2 hang-on filters (Tetra Whisper 60) and a canister filter (Fluval 304) attached to my 125 gls tank. Is this the right filtration for my tank? I also have a Tidepool wet/dry filter that I'm thinking on setting up. Is this too much filtration? Also, should the flow rate be at a high or low rate?

You can't over filter your tank, the key is water movement but change your filter pads often to avoid a nitrate explosion. IMO you don't have enough water movement. Try a couple Aquaclear 500's instead of the whispers and ditch the can filter , it does more harm than good (nitrate factory). Also a power head or two down low will help and keep the substrate clean.:joy:
