Fluval C4 overkill

[Anna94]

Would a Fluval C4 on a 29g tall be overkill and too much flow? I'm just worried my fish won't be able to swim very well even with the filter on the low setting?

Hint: keep your questions together in one topic if they all relate to the same tank. So people know what you are talking about.

Answer: Will depend on your fish. Some species love it turbid

I have a Fluval C3 on a 25 gal long tank. It works well for the CPD's and Lamchop rasboras and shrimps I have in that tank.

A C4 is a bit more powerful obviously but on a 29 gal, don't think will be too bad at all, do remember you can adjust the flow output to suit using the filter intake postioning on the main body of the C4.

A C3 would be a bit too puny for a 29gal imho but it depends on the dimensions of the tank, if its a short 29G tank, then a C3 is probably ok but if its a standard or long 29g then personally I'd go with C4.

No such thing as too much filtration but there is such a thing as too much flow, as hobby5 already mentioned, it can depend on what specie of fish you plan to have as well as the tank set up.
