Question
hello, i got my saltwater tank in a kit. it is a 14 gallon tank with a small filter that i actually think is for 10 gallon tanks. i would like to get a marineland penguin 200 power filter. would this give my tank clean water.thanks

Answer
I use the 200b on my little 7 gallon nano.  I don't believe it's strong enough for a 14, but you can always give it a try.  If your tank is wide enough, I would recommend the 350 much over the 200.  It's a much better quality, super filter with better flow for your corals too.

Even with good filtration, you have to change 10 to 20 percent of the water bi-weekly.
