Hi All,
I've setup a tank which is basically a standard 2 foot tank (2x1x1) approx 50 litres. Is this big enough for a pair of zebs?
What kind of power head or canister should i be looking for as in the numbers of LP/H for this tank size? I believe the tank turn over should be around 6-20 times an hour?
Tank size ok?

Hi,
50L should be enough to keep 2 Zebras, but keep up the maintanance as Nitrates would easily build up fast in such a small tank.
You find the turnoverrate by dividing the tanks capacity with your pumps capacity. for example: 400 gph pump divided by 30gallon tank (400 divided by 30) = turnoverrate of 13,3 gph
