[Low flow filtration]

🤨Hi.  What filter can I use the suggested Seachem 50gph or less water flow.  I’m having trouble controlling nitrates ina 20 gallon housing 5 small African Ciclids.  I’ve purchased denitrate from Seachem, but the aqua clears I filter the tank with have much higher gph.  I’ve tried all the standard remedies and am setting up a bigger tank for them, but that’s a slow happening.

Seachem recommends 250 ml on denitrate.  I think that works out as a little over a cup of denitrate in a bio bag.  I’m thinking about a corner or box filter or a sis’s knockoff.  Also thought of taking the media out of one of the aqua clears if I can figure out a way to successfully slow the flow to 50gph
