what type of filter u hv upgrade. How much and how time u feed a day?

I used to use 2-3 1200L/H canisters to filter my goldfish tank. Result is always have to change water due to cloudyness & foul smell from goldfish poo-poo pollutions. I'm tired and water bills went up. Then I came across a big Eheim Canister 2260. Also known as the green dustbin. It's power by Eheim 1260 universal pump with 2400L/H output. Water still milky during the first few days running this canister. Water crystal clear around a week later.


I feed my 10goldfishes very frequently but very little at times. I feed them at least 2times a day everyday. My mum & nieces also feed them frequently. Water quality still very good.

tks bro, but is the flow rate too fast & powerful for gold fish, pls adv?

Yo bro, paiseh for the late respond. Very busy recently. Busy with my the other community tank and other matters. Anyway, I've upgrade my original pump of my Eheim 2260 Canister to a more powerful one Original Eheim 2260 using Eheim Universal 1260 pump which have a output of 2400L/H. Now I'm using Eheim Universal 1262 pump 3400L/H. No issue about the powerful flowrate if you know how to channel away the force. From above picture, U can see there's a transparent tube behind the tank. It's the same wide as my tank (ie around 3fts). I've drilled multiple holes on the tubing. The tubing is connected to the output of my pump. With so many smaller output holes, the force is greatly reduced. The goldfishes won't even feel a thing when they swim near the output holes I've also drill a small hole and insert a small tube from my airpump therefore U also see bubbles blowing out from the tubing.


Here's my other community tank. All comments welcome
