Hi , I am wondering if someone could advise me please.
I have a tank with a capacity of 180 litres. I run 2 internal filters which turnover the water at a total rate of 1200 litres per hour. Basically I have been informed that you need 10 times turnover in relation to the tank size , so by this , my set up is short by 600 lph. My tank houses 2 ranchu and a crown pearlscale. I change around 50% of the water every 3-5days Can I please have your comments please on whether or not my flow rate is sufficient for my fish. Thanks in advance Stuart.
