Spliting one filter with 2 tanks?
Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2007 7:39 pmHi...i am very new in turtle and aquarium stuffs, so this might sound weird...
but is it possible to split one filter for use in 2 different tanks?
I.E. I have a 20 gallons fish and a 10 gallons turtle tank that are placed side by side. Is it possible for me to use one canister filter (RENA XP3), and put a splinter at each of the outlet & inlet of the canister filter so I can have 2 inlet & outlet and place one of each in the 2 tanks?
Capacity wise, the XP3 is good for 175Gallon, and the total for the 2 tanks are only 30 gallon, so I don't see a problem with that.
I can get the extra tubing/hose & stuffs myself without any problem
Only thing I am really concerned about is water pressure difference, but if I placed both tank on the same level (water level or floor level), is the pressure gonna be the same?
