Is it very good?

Is it recommendable to use it together with just a 1200l/hr powerhead 2 canister internal filter for a 5ft x 2 x 2 tank?

Thanks.

Hi bro, So far been running ever since i started this thread and so far so good.
Easy to clean and it managed to siphon quite alot of dirt.

Example,
20 parrot fish,
1 fei feng,
1 G2 red aro at 18",
1 sucker fish.

With these fishes in a 5 x 2 x 2 tank, 1 sponge filter, 1 1200l/hr and 1 dymax ef 40 enough?

What will be a better recommendation?

Many thanks~~

Woah, the 20 parrots will be very heavy in bioload. in the above filtration u mentioned, only the dymax ef40 is the bio filtration.. which is not enough at all. you'll probably be better off with a 5ft 3 tier MR AQUA OHF, 1 Dymax EF-40 and airstone to aerate the tank.
