Creating More Flow/water Movement

[cornishlass]

I currently have a 64ltr fish box it has a u2 filter (45-110ltr) in it, but I am not happy with the lack of water movement, I was considering adding another filter to the other end of the tank, I have a fluval 4 at home, would it be too much? Just the fluval 4? Any ideas

Two internal filters in a small tank like that are going to take up a lot of room. Why not get a small external instead? A Fluval 205 or equivalent would give you 10 x turnover and free up space in your tank.

I would love to but there is no where to put an external filter, and hubby doesnt want the tank moved

Fair enough then. What about a powerhead? A Koralia nano moves 900LPH, nice and small too.

Maybe its time for a big filter clean? It may be clogged up a bit.
