This is the only one i could find 2226-51 EHEIM PROFESSIONAL EXTERNAL FILTER [222651] - £177.71 : Midland Waterlife, Eheim Parts Filters Fluval Marine Accessory Fish Tank Tropical Aquarium Pond Coldwater Hozelock

No it should be left on constantly, you only turn it off to clean it:thumbup:

That's exactly how i have mine too, works a treat:)

Never used this filter but you could do without the Green nitrate filter sponge, you want to be adding Nitrates not removing them:thumbup:

Yes you can find out of date statements like that all over the internet i'm afraid, luckily enough you are in a place here where the experience and reasoning of others can guide you up the learning curve that is Aquascaping, no one here is trying to take your money, although i'm afraid even some...

No forget the filter, PO4 will not cause algea regardless of what the industry tries to tell you, just one of the many misnomers that are perpetuated to try and sell you more stuff:rolleyes:

I have a Tetratec 1200 and a 700 and i can't fault them :)

sorry it took so long to get back to this i've been working away :( it turned out to be the moulded plastic ubend on the inflow had split at the seem :!: have replaced it with a eheim inflow kit but i'm having a problem with one of the seals on that now, at least i know what it is now :)

thanks for the replies guys, i've been flat out at work since 6am yesterday so i wont get a chance to check the seals close until the weekend. i'll let you know how what i find

My 1200 has (after 6 months of silent, faultless running) suddenly started to make a loud vibration every few mins and then expelling lots of air from the outflow. It's been 2 weeks since it's last clean (normally do it monthly) but i stripped it and cleaned it anyway but it made no differance...
