Filter and water changes

[christian1971]

Sorry for all these questions. Even with reading, I end up with more questions. If I have a 75 gal aquarium, doing a daily 50% water change, will one rather than two Emperor 400 Filter be good? Or will two make things dramatically better for the fish.

I dont see why not. 37.5g everyday of new water and one filter should be plenty.

More filtration is always better, and it's good to add a hydro sponge filter inside the tank as well. Use a battery backup air pump for the hydro sponge and that way you have insurance should your power ever go out.

Wouldn't two filters rated for 80g be overkill on a 75? JW not questioning you :) And christian why are you not getting a canister ??

Yes, that is fine. You don't want to confuse water filtration with overall water quality. Having tons of of filtration is actually useless if you are not replacing water. The end product of nitrification is poor water.
