Fish Tank Filtration Units
Two Fluval 305’s or 405’s?
I have recently purchased a 300 litre aquarium (for tropical fish and and may move over to marine in the late future) and I’m choosing external filtration for it. I originally requested a dealer for two Fluval 405 units, to allow for over stocking; messy livestock like plecos and large fish; possible future-proofing; and for failsafe, in case one filter may fail, slow down or block up, then at least the second filter would be enough to run the tank until the other one gets fixed. The shop dealer insisted that this would be too much for a 300 litre tank and I would be better off with two Fluval 305’s instead; slowing the flow of two 405’s for a 300 litre tank may damage the filter pumps. What would you recommend for my requirements, two Fluval 305’s or two Fluval 405’s?
Go with the 2 fluval 405’s. What I all ways say is you are better off with a little to more filtration than less on a big tank with big fish. Now if you are worried about the water flow being to strong in the tank. Then you can get a spray bar to put on to the return of the filters. This will help lower the current that the filters cause with out lowering the amount of water they filter per hour. Good fish keeping
