    Hi everyone...need your advise lah.

    I can't seem to find the info actually.

    Anyway, I'd like to know what's the general rule/guide that we should observe when buying a filter. You know...the 120g/hour (for eg) cycling and such....?

    I asked this cos I have an unused 20-gallon tank that I intend to use as a planted tank set-up. It would not be densely planted whereas the fish bioload would be minimal.

    All advise are appreciated. Thanx

    generally, the filter flowrate should be about 3x your tank size.
    so for 20 gal tank, the filter flowrate should be in the region of 60 gal/hr.
    the filter should have multiple baskets for various types of filter media.
