Is it safe to use eheim cannister filter in a 2ft tank?
Cause I'm afraid that the flow rate may be too powerful for the small tank. Any way that I can reduce the flow rate? Is there any way that I can also adjust the output of the pipe? |

The rule of thumb to prevent excessive current in the tank is to use a filter/pump that turns over the water not more than 4 to 6 times per hour. If your 2ft tank contains say 120l of water, pump capacity should not be more than say 600 litres/hour.
I have seen external cannisters where you can adjust the output; but not familiar with that though. |
