i have 3 aquariums. a 55g with a penguin bio-wheel 350, a 20g with a penguin bio-wheel 200, and a 10g with a penguin bio-wheel 150. i kno that the 20g and the 10g have plenty of filtration but im not sure about the 55g. how many times should a tank cycle through in an hour as of now my 55g is cycling through 6.4 times per hour. is this enough the tank does not surrently have any fish in it but it will eventually be stocked to maximum capacity.
Hi Tony
That's exactly what I would suggest, get another Penguin 350, or you could go for another Penguin 200. Of course, the higher the rate, the best.
i dont know yet. i want to get 2-3 angelfish and a small pleco. like a starry night pleco or a candy striped pleco. and maybe a dwarf cichlid. other than that i dont know
you don't need as much turnover if you have a canister filter. HOB filters drop clean water right into the uptake...sounds efficient right? that's why they require such high flow rates.

Actually if the HOB is doing it's job it's pushing water across the top layer of water, hitting the glass in front of it and circulating on around.

Oh not Hobbits on Burritos? You know how they like to eat I guess it depends on whether it's first breakfast or second whether their hungry enough to eat the whole Burro
