I would say that the water flow would be too much for that size tank. I think a Fluval 207 or 307 would be much better for that size. The 07 series filters are awesome. I have a 407 on my 75 gallon tropical fish aquarium with a spray bar. It does an incredible job.
Just stumbled on your channel. Frist off I have the exact same tank from PetSmart. 👍🏻 On your tank do you have an Fx6 and Fx2 running? I've been using an Fx4 for about 6 years and think it does the job. I've seen other UA-camrs run a two canister system and thought if you did this it would cause problems with your tanks. Is it better to run a two canister system? Also you mentioned that you clean the impeller every couple of months. I never knew you were supposed to clean that. Can you do a video of how to get to it to clean? Lastly how do you keep the glass on the top of the clean? The rubber part in the middle of the lid has separated and now when I lift the lid where the handle is, the glass sperates and comes off.
Yes...I have multiple FX filters running on my 125G goldfish aquarium. I see some of the most successful YT fishkeepers running multiple filters all the time. I think it can cause problems if you don't stagger the maintenance due to the biomedia or if you don't locate the intakes on the same side. It also gives you a backup if you have issues and prevents me from needing a wavemaker. It also improves the CO2 / Oxygen exchange. You would not believe how gunked up the impeller gets. It definitely needs to be cleaned. I will do a video on the impeller at some point. Thanks for the suggestion!!! I clean the bottom of the glass and top with a hand towel dipped in aquarium water and then dry the top with a dry towel. I suggest emailing Aqueon to inquire about how to repair the glass separation issue.
Great
Hello is the FX6 over kill for a 40 gallon breeder
I will get a larger tank later for my Fahaka puffer
40 is all I can have now
