Posted	External filter question
28-10-2006 08:29 by zalanz	i have a 50 gallon Malawi setup with about 50 fish. Sand substrate. I use an Aqua One cannister filter but would like to supplement this with another smaller cannister. My question is: will any filter work if it is placed ABOVE the tank? Most I have seen are set up below the tank, but I can only place filter on a shelf above tank. Please advise.

Also i have a 100 gallon with 30 malawis, i think yours may be a little over stocked.
