mgudyka Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 After a recent post about a 60 gallon tank and stand set that was on sale and deciding against that, I have been looking into getting 75 gallon instead. Maybe dumb, but before I was definitely settled on a size, I bought a filter on craigslist. It is a fluval 306 canister filter but it is supposed to be rated for up to 70 gallons. I also bought aquarium co-op's largest sponge filter (I think for 40+ gallons). With those two combined, will that be enough filtration for a 75 gallon?

lefty o Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 unless you very heavily stock it, that should be plenty of filtration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haif Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Oh yeah, that canister should be more than enough unless you're going crazy on the stocking, especially if you combo with live plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgudyka Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Thanks @lefty o and @Haif. My plan is to get a rope fish and maybe a couple tank mates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJV Aquatics Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Yes, as posted previously, the canister alone is more than enough filtration. Filtration is often misunderstood by hobbyists. Filters merely aid with water clarity, not water purity. Too many over filter wasting money and energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
