We always hear "you can never have too much filtration". However, I'm beginning to suspect that I am indeed over-filtering my 240 litre box.
I'm running an Eheim 4e+ 350 plus a Fluval 306 which, as I understand it is way more than enough. My issue is that I'd like to have floating plants and the flow from both together just smashes them up and they rot real quick.
Do you think I'm over-filtering and could I safely 'downgrade' to just the Eheim (saving power, too)? I'm moderately concerned that removing the 306 may cause a temporary overload for the Eheim - so I might do a few more water changes.
My UV steriliser is being decommissioned, too...
Any thoughts?
