When is enough?

[fengshui]

I currently have a 29 gallon stocked with 6 lovely juvenile high quality blood parrots and equipped with two Hydor Koralia 425s, an Aquaclear 110, an Eheim 250 and a Marineland Penguin Biowheel 250! Both the Aquaclear and Eheim use Seachem Matrix while the Eheim also uses Purigen! Should I add more filtration? Thanks.

For your average tank with HOB filters, I would just shoot for around 10x turnover. I think you're fine, as long as you're getting no ammonia or nitrites.

I would think about maybe upgrading to a bigger tank for those parrots soon

 

[fengshui]

I've been dying to get the approval of my parents to upgrade the tank but they won't budge so I need to think of something soon later on!

You could always try to rehome them and stock your 29g tank with appropriate fish.

 

[LiterallyHydro]

With Geoff on that. You never know what the future holds, you may never have the appropriate home for them.

I believe Parrot fish get around 10 inches. That's big, so they will need a large tank if you wish to keep them.

You have a pic of this? How did you fit the HOB's on the tank? Is one on the front or the side? And with those koralias I can't imagine how much movement is going on in the tank.

Where could you even put another filter?

 

[fengshui]

The two HOBs fit right next to each other on the back. The Eheim is under the tank. Koralias are in the tank.

 

[BDpups]

An aquaclear 110 and a penguin 200 or is it a 350? There isn't a penguin 250.

 

[fengshui]

200 my bad sorry

 

[Geoff]

Imo no matter how many filters you put on there, it's not going to make a 29g tank any bigger for 6 soon-to-be 10" fish.

Yes. As others have said, honestly, the amount of filtration you have is irrelevant because they are going to grow way too big for a 29g. Heck, even one wouldnt be appropriate.

 

[BDpups]

There isn't any need to add more filters. You have more than enough. Now you need a tank that is big enough for the fish.
