Oase biomaster thermo 250

So it's a 100L tank and high tech, meaning Co2 and strong lights?
I think that should be fine, but I would probably opt for a 350 (or even 600) for that size tank.
I was using eden 522 before and it broke down. When I was using eden 522 1000lt, I was always encountering bba algae in the flow path. This was the reason I didn't want a big filter. I know that the flow rate can be adjusted, but I thought the engine would have difficulty after a certain period of time.

My tank is exactly 100 liters gross, there are 13 liters of soil, we can think of it as 100-13=87 liters

I don't think BBA is caused by flow. People run huge filters on their tanks without BBA becoming a problem. Avoiding BBA has more to do with achieving some sort of balance. 6-8 hours of adequate light for plant growth. More light than needed will lead to algae. Weekly large water changes. A large and healthy plant mass. A filter that is maintained when it should be.
