Filtration Question
« on: May 31, 2013, 09:54:31 PM »
I have a 55 gallon aquarium overstocked with haps and peacocks. I do a 25% water change weekly. I have an emperor 400 filter, and I was wondering if I added a fluval canister filter for up to 70 gallons, would I be overfiltering in the tank?

Perhaps, but in a good way!  :)

I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.

So I wouldn't be hurting any fish at all?

You wouldn't be hurting anyone.  I was going to suggest larger water changes as opposed to more filtration...Filtration merely consolidates waste, water changes remove it.
