    Hi all bros!

    Need some advice here. Just going back into the hobby after a hiatus of almost 10 years. Will the above mentioned Ehiem 2260 filter (2400liters/hr) be overkill for the a 120x50x50cm tank? There will be a chiller.

    Or the other option is to get 2 units of Classic 600 @ 1000liters/hr each.

    Thanks for all advice in advance.

    It’s way too strong for a 120 x 50 x 50 planted.

    2x 600 would be better

    I think it should be ok. Bear in mind that 1)for filter flow rate decreases(dirt accumulation, density of filter media) . 2) depending the type of plants you plan to get. some plants needs hi water flow.

    I had Cryptocoryne plants & never have sufficient water flow for them to grow abundantly.

    Forgot to add. If you run thru chiller, the flow rate will decrease even further.
