    £200 to spend on external filter what should i get??

    I would go with Eheim, been using them on and off for the last 18 years and not had a single problem.

    Running two filters through single hoses

    When I chained multiple externals before I did it with Rena xp2's, out to in and so on and it worked fine. It's just running two via single pipes I'm not certain on as I haven't before, it would be two Eheim 2213's. What would make you go for two intakes @Edvet?

    Running two filters through single hoses

    In the past I have daisy chained filters for added filtration, I'm considering running two of the same externals through the single in/out pipes by joining them with a Y piece. Has anyone else done this? Can anyone think of any potential problems? I'm more interested in increasing flow...

    ADA Super jets - worth the investment?

    I looked at the ADA filters just because they are pretty, but the price!!! Can't go wrong with an Eheim 2213 or 2215 at that size.

    Newave 1.6 powerheads ( review )

    I have two of these running in my marine tank, fantastic little powerheads! Nice and quiet, more than powerful enough for their size, easy to put on and take off and a nice matt black colour and great swivel ball head adjustment. If anyone is looking for a way to increase flow around the tank...

    External Filter Choices!!!!

    Either the 2217 or Rena xp2, I have used both and think it is fair to say both are as good as each other but I think the Eheim with internal basket removed holds quite a lot more bio media than the trays in the Rena. I used standard gravel in an old Eheim with internal basket removed and had...

    Using standard water filters is it ok?

    I am thinking of rigging up 2 water filter cannisters to my return pipe, a carbon and a 1 or 5 micron. Has anyone used them and any idea if this will be ok? Its the same canisters you get on a RO unit just without the RO membrane so not sure what effect it will have on the water if any. I am...

    30x turnover

    There is a 5mm lip on each side of the overflow which could be cut off with a razor blade to give you the 1cm you need to get it in your tank :) It is just a trim and cutting it off will not cause any problems.

    30x turnover

    You may be able to shave the over hang sides with a stanley blade to give you that 1cm reduction as they have a thin lip on each side from the moulding of them, I will have a look later and let you know if it would be doable and practical.

    30x turnover

    I am new to all this planted tank stuff but have kept fish for years, I personally can not think of a fish off the top of my head that will get on with that much flow let alone a shrimp lol I may be wrong so maybe just wait for others to reply and see what they say.....

    30x turnover

    Unless you have Olympic swimmer shrimp I think they are likely to get blown all over the place lol, why such a big PH on a tank that size?
