I have a pair of paddle tails in a 128 l tank with an internal Eheim filter. The filter, however, is a few years old and I think it's slowed down a lot. Cleaning it hasn't helped, and I'm considering buying a Fluval 3, instead.
The Eheim has a max output of 500 l/h, the Fluval 3 700 l/h. I'm looking for opinions of whether this is an appropriate flow or if it might be too much, even for so-called stream dwellers. Any opinions on Fluval in general would be appreciated as well.
Also, my tank is decorated with tree roots. I don't expect my newts to breed, but since the male is certainly interested, if worse comes to worst so to speak, would the female be content laying her eggs on tree, or does she require "stone caves", i.e. rocks or flowerpots?
thanks,
Kalaila
