Default enquiry on flow rate of pump for OHP

hi all

can give me some advise on any pump suitable for 2.5ftx1.5ftx1.5ft tank?
I am using for keeping flowerhorn fish about 2.5 to 3 inch

i see alot of pump outside with flow rate ranging from 300 litres to 3000 over litres

can advise me if i us a 400 litres per hour pump for the tank is it good enough?

any good brand with no noise in the water

regards

2.5ftx1.5ftx1.5ft tank is 143.35 litres

i think 400-600L/Hr is OK

Think minimum for 2.5ft should be at least 1800l/h and also depends on how frequent u do ur wc.

Sorry my mistake didn't see thread title.
For single OHF 1600l/h for stackables 2200l/h.
Pump flow can higher abit if overflow you can drill some holes at the bottom.

Gungho abit la....go for power...more flowrate....afterall yr LuoHan don't mind. I would suggest 1400~2000 l/min ...subject to yr price comfortability. My 3 ft tanks are currently using 2500 & 3000 L/min pumps.

hi all just to confirm again

if my new tank is 2.5ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft

the pump flow rate i will be using 2300 litres per hour for OHF with 2 layer of stackables

the fish will be 2 to 2.5 inch

will it be a problem if i feed it with floating pellets , as i hope the flow rate wont be that strong to blow away the pellets with such a flow rate

sorry dont mind me asking

regards

thor
