  1. Too many cycles per hour?

    Is it possible to do too many complete cycles per hour using a power filter? I'm running a 55L tank and a Hydor Crystal Duo R05 11. It has the output of 650 L/phr meaning im doing around 11-12 cycles per hour! Is this too much filtration or is there never enough?

  2. Set up UGF and Heater Help!
