Hey folks, I have a Juwel Rio 350 on it's way. It's a 350 litre tank but I FULLY intend on removing the internal filter and using an external solution. Easier to maintain, more room inside the tank itself, better aesthetics and likely easier to get a better quality of water.
I had my eye on the Fluval FX4 but it is YUGE. However, that said, the filtration circulation on that bad boy is around 1700l/h which equates to 4.85 times the volume of water in the tank per hour. I'd probably have to use a spray bar to dissipate the power of the pump and stop everything being blown down the opposite end of the tank.
A less unweildly solution would be something closer to the size of a Fluval 407 but this canister will only provide 930l of filter circulation - equationg to a measly 2.65 x tank volume per hour.
Could any body drop me some recommendations, hints or tips here? Ideally I'd prefer an all-in-one solution but I understand that 350l isn't an inconsequential amount of water so if two smaller filters are indeed the "best" solution then sobeit.

Thanks my dude.
Have seen! Didn't want to be cluttering up the forums and hijacking my own thread about a specific filter so I made a less specific thread here!
Though, once again, I appreciate your input.
