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? |

Your best bet is to upgrade your tank....coz 72 liters is only enough for 1 adult goldfish. And your 2235 canister will be of waste if your gonna operate on ur 2feet tank.
since you have a nice filter...better option to upgrade your tank to 4-6 feet one....that way u can keep more goldfishes too, given that you control your feed or do more water changes... As too water currents due to high flow rate....i guess the general opinion is that goldfish dont like it....i dont know the reason you might have to do some readings or some senior members can answer that....I guess ponds are natural habitat for goldfishes....where much of the water is still....maybe this is one reason. |
