Think minimum for 2.5ft should be at least 1800l/h and also depends on how frequent u do ur wc.

Gungho abit la....go for power...more flowrate....afterall yr LuoHan don't mind. I would suggest 1400~2000 l/min ...subject to yr price comfortability. My 3 ft tanks are currently using 2500 & 3000 L/min pumps.

hi all just to confirm again
if my new tank is 2.5ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft the pump flow rate i will be using 2300 litres per hour for OHF with 2 layer of stackables the fish will be 2 to 2.5 inch will it be a problem if i feed it with floating pellets , as i hope the flow rate wont be that strong to blow away the pellets with such a flow rate sorry dont mind me asking regards thor |
