Before tis is submersible pump? More power means higher suction power?

Yep, the old unused submersible pump 40w @2000L/Hr, Tsurumi brand. Pic :



Pic of turtle temporary tank setup :

Early installation



The pump keep changing places as my PNT constantly played with it. Then i put it in plastic ware, to prevent wire biting as well.



Today it proves that u cant trust a turtle with something chewa-bitable. My bad as well, i should've used a taller ware to provide full-protection. So currently i just used 18w normal powerhead pump (actually for top filter). By math, it is less than half the power of former submersible pump.

Submersible pump has greater suction power tn n powrhead? Wil suck al the fish poops? Haha

If u looking for greater power, consider this from Shanda



Notice that the SDP10000A has about 10 times more wattage/ flowrate than normal powerhead top-filter pump. Imagine a pump that powerful, a LFS once said he dare not test a powerful pond pump in his shop, scared the output water will ruin his ceiling LOL

Weh, bro, im nt digging apond in my house to use that. Hahaha. Btw, my powehead is shanda too. Xp

U dont have to apply into a pond to use a 4500L/Hr pump. I'm using that on my aquarium

BTW what model is ur shanda powerhead? May this pic help?



Trust me bro, if ure going further in this hobby, u'll crave for a bigger tank, higher flow power

Wowowow all this sump and trickle filter talk makes me wanna revise my traditional top filter system to a new one

Yea, is in the pic! Haha. If use tat submeraible pump, wil all the food(pellets whic is given to the fish is suck before is eaten?

Too much flowrate and strong current of water will surely suck the pellets. High power sump is not recommended to put in main tank. I put mine in filter tank.

Come to think again, having a tank /pond is a different kind of enjoyment and exp

Wats the diff between filter tank main tank?for u, wats the best filter for a 2.5 ft tank? for me, i lk a tank better coz i can see almost everything in my tank. XD

My acrylic compartments:
a set of 3 tier x 3
a set of 3 tier x 2

less than RM150 for two.

I saw off the blocking panel (the blue plastic tank cover yet thecompartment cant fit. so i just put directly on the tank. Sambung top filter head dulu.
Will look for sub power head later.
heavy bio-loads..hmm maybe 25oo L/hr might work for my 4ft.
what says you guy?
My fishes are slow, so will not go extreme for gushing effect

which 1 better?

or ...
i want try make DIY filter but no time to do (lazy i guess lol) + scare leaking 1 when im not around...

Filter tank is the one underneath ur aquarium, where u put ur sump filter in. For a 2.5ft tank, i think top-filter should do the job. The one to look for upgrade (if ure up to it), is the powerhead pump power.

Picture tells a thousand word sis

2500L/Hr sounds ok, especially if the position of tank is not high. But i think u should go for something a bit more, as i'm using a 3000L/Hr for my mom's 4' tank. A former Tsurumi 2000L/Hr was proven too slow to maintain the water quality.

The one in white colour looks good and spacey. How about the flowrate power?

Anyone looking for arapaima?2 4" of them for rm200 each at nearby lfs here

Kkk. The top filter box's size doesnt matter if big or small, is stil the same ryte? Higher power powerhead will cause a 'tornado' in my tank or nt?
