  • Cannister airation

    I currently have a eheim 2026+ a Hob on my 55g. was wondering if i took off the hob would the eheim provide enough aeration for the fish? or should i just leave it as is? because i want to use the hob on my 46g. thx

        If you use a horizontal discharge just above the water level that should be enough, as long it disrupts the water tension you'll get aeration.
        I dream of a Flagtail prochilodus!

            Eheim 2026 flowrate is 250gph. That makes 4.5 to 1 turnover.

            Turnover that low is ok with smaller fish.

            But if you have a overstocked tank, or larger fish, I would not want anything less than 7 to 1 on turnover.
