Caper Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Is there any way to tell if the filter is doing, oh heck, filtering the way it should? I have an aqua-tech for 30-60 gallon tanks, and a whisper for 30-60 gallon tank. The whisper is on my barb/tetra tank which I recently moved downstairs in my apartment so naturally noticing more of what is going on now. There is quite a bit of water movement from the aqua but not as much from the whisper...would they not be similar do you think? I don't know how old the whisper is I bought it second hand with the tank and to be honest if I did ask the people how long they had it I don't remember :oops: Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemines Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 test your water. if you feel it's sufficient, chances are it actually is. however, i know that eheim, which usually has a much lower flow rate than some other brands, argues that slower water allows more contact time and thus better filtration.

Caper Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks nemines! I am going to keep on eye on it just in case. Going to ad an airstone or bubble wall too. If it wasn't filtering properly, I would be having lots of problems don't you think...well at the very least unclear water??? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
