AC 300 fuge

[Kingpin]

is a Aqua clear 300 ehough flow for a 10gal?

 

i want to know beause i want to removes some bulky power heads. it would just be my ac300 fuge w/ heater. if not i was think to put a power head inside the ac300 and plumb water in 1/2"pvc to d-vert water flow. what do you think about that idea?

IS ac300 enough waterflow by its self?

 

also is an ac300 fuge worth it, or go w/ a CPR fuge?

well if you are just using the filter to circulate water and hold your heater then yes it is good enough, but if your using it as a fuge the flow is high. fuges should have slow flow, i use a aq500 on my 10 gallon but i used acrylic to direct the flow over the macro so it doesn't stir stuff up.

you could use a aquaclear 150 impeller on the 300 to reduce the flow and it would still be enough flow and work as a fuge.

do you think i should get an ac500 too. i like more space and i too can get some dividers.

 

if i have so much water flow(500gph) i defendantly can put that 270gph pump in and use my overhead jets or spray that are inter-changeable.

 

yes for the ac500 or no, go w/ the ac300 setup?

i was thinking more of the water flow the ac300 made for the tank full of corals than for the fuge.

i was already planing on doing the dividers toreduce the flow.

 

edit: by the way, thanks for the response. it's tough getting answers when you really need them.
