Palm Filter? - MyFishTank.Net Freshwater Saltwater Aquarium Fish Forum

My 5g has a betta in it only with a 5-15 AquaTech Filter. It's a little strong for the betta so I've been considering downsizing a bit. Does anyone know anything about the Palm Filter? It sounds like it would be perfect for the betta.

i would guess that the flow would be slower since the Palm is only 16 gph. Do you know the flow rate of the one you have now? The palm should provide enough filtration for you. Don't forget to run both for a few weeks so you don't cause another cycle.

The Filter you have now can't be turned down at all?

No it can't be. I could slow it down with some sponge, but I'd prefer to have it for a spare anyways. Its on sale so I guess this is a good time to get it lol.
