    Default I know you guys will disagree, but.

    I have a 20 g high, with what's going to be 3 filters a tertra power whisper 10i and a 60, with a top fin 30. All together rated at 570 gph, would their be so much as to much or maybe make too strong of currents.

    The whispers barely have any currents IMO, and you can't adjust them either. I don't think it would have that strong of a current.

    In my opinion you cannot have too much filtration, but you can have too much current. Some fish don't appreciate the strong current, such as fish with long flowing fins like betta.
    If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
    Brutal honesty will be shown on this screen.

    I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
    Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.

    If you're concerned about excessive current, why not use filters that allow you to adjust it? The Aquaclears have flow control valves on them that let you manage the current -- up to a point. Some of the units regulate it better than others.

    As for filtration -- the more the better.

    Well the thing is that the 60 which I just bought goes for about 60$ at a store and I saw a new one on amazon for 15$ and I just had to jump on it.

    You got a lot of filter stuff distracting from the look of your tank and you got cabling spaghetti. I'd rather get a good canister and hide it.

    I also generally don't care about looks, just whatever makes the fish happy.

    Each to his own I suppose. In that case you will enjoy the benefits of being able to stagger cleaning of filters.
