I am a newbie to this group and to the fishkeeping hobby (since Dec
'97). I have been reading books & lurking in different aquaria related
NGs and sites to try to learn from other peoples' experiences. Since I
mostly have rainbows, I feel that I'm likely to get more of an accurate
answer in this group since it is dedicated to rainbows.
I have a planted 240g aquarium with mostly rainbows. My LFS guy
indicated that I don't have enough water circulation at 3x, he said a
minimum of 6x to a max of 10x. Anyway my husband conceded and have
ordered 2 fluval 403 and we'll use one of the existing magnum350 for
polishing, also theres a couple of powerheads (can't remember size).
Isn't this too much filtration for the fish let alone a planted tank?
What's the general consensus out there? Anybody?
By the way, I picked up 2 wanamensis 3 weeks ago and they looked really
ragged, their fins and tail were tattered but since I've never seen them
anywhere else I went ahead and got them. They are slowly healing up.
Is there anything I can do to help these guys heal quicker?
TIA,
JOY
