Pump output GPH” – The pump GPH just tells you the flow rate without any pressure being applied. Every inch the pump needs to pump water through applies pressure to the motor and reduces its flow rate. They have plenty of room to house beneficial bacteria which is essential for a stable biofilter in the aquarium. If it’s that rare case where you just want a lightly-to-not planted 90-gallon aquarium with hundreds of small community fish in it, then, surely, a single Cascade 1500 will do the job. It’s a popular canister filter that provides a strong flow rate of 350 GPH.Energy efficiency is another standout feature. You might think something this powerful would be a drain on your electricity bill, but you'd be wrong. For over 30 years, it has earned the trust of fish-hobbyists by making innovative products that deliver many valuable benefits. In my experience, to keep such a large fish tank realistically clean you’d need 2 separate canister filters: This makes Eheim ideal for smaller fish tanks – they don’t have a lot of flow to disturb the small swimmers while keeping ammonia and nitrite spikes at bay, thanks to their large filter media trays. Fluval eTEC (Efficient Technology) construction employs cutting-edge design, materials & manufacturing methods to deliver powerful pump performance, reduced energy consumption & ultra-quiet operation

Another thing that I should mention here is the instructions for setting an Eheim filter up and priming it. As harsh as it might sound, the instructions are complete garbage. Worry not though. Drill small holes in the output pipe to spread the stream of returning water. Making 3-4 holes will be more than enough;

Remove and clean filter media: Take out the filter media baskets and gently rinse the foam pads, activated carbon inserts, and Bio-Foam+ media with aquarium water. Avoid using tap water, as it can kill the beneficial bacteria in the filter media. Replace the carbon inserts every 2 to 3 months, or as needed.

With this out of the way, there are a few factors I kept in mind when offering my filter recommendations below: 1. The “real” GPH flow rate is reduced by close to 50% in practice. Priming issues: Occasionally, I've encountered some challenges with priming the filter. While it's generally straightforward, there have been instances where I needed to press the priming button multiple times or turn the filter off and on again to dislodge trapped air. This will suffice for even the messiest turtle and you won’t end up tearing your tank down, because of issues with stagnant water. 4.
