How Much Lph Does A Fully Stocked Tank Need?

[aly_starh]

As topic, tank is 65L, it will be fully stocked with a few live plants. (media will be mature)

I think it is something like 10 times the literage of the tank? Dont quote me there are more experienced people out there that can guide better. But for fully stocked for a 65 litre you should be having 650 lph? (Hope someone confirms this)

So for instance for my 160 litre I needed 1600LPH, so I have internals Fluval 3+ and Fluval 4+ which give me 700 lph and 1000lph for the full not overstocked tank volume I have (I think!)

you should be shooting for anywhere from 5 to 10x turnover.

Aim for about 600-800 LPH

ahh, my current filter for that tank is a 650LPH. I personally think its not enough. I might run another filter with it, or just buy another filter to run alone with greater LPH.

thanks
