Hello all,
I have recently bought a beautiful 45 litre glass bowl which I intend to use as a planted aquarium. I don't intend to keep any fish in it, perhaps a few shrimp eventually, so, please, no need for a lecture on cruelty
I'm having a few difficulties with finding an external filter suitable for a tank of this size... and I absolutely want nothing inside the aquarium except for the filter inlet and outlet which I'll be making myself using heated acrylic pipe.
I would also like to add CO2 and an inline heater to the filter outlet pipe, and I'm aware that this will affect flow rate, but I'm just not sure to what extent... I'd like a flow rate relative to the size of the tank, no crazy currents!!
If anyone has any ideas, or experience with suitable filters then please let me know.
Look forward to hearing from you
John
