It's true that if you run it at it's lowest position in the tank the knocking sound basically disappears since at this level there is a maximal flow of water entering the skimmer and therefore minimal movement of the float switch. However with the weather where I live evaporation can make it...

Height: Lowest position in tank which allows water to enter through the slot only. Water is not meant to enter over the top. Top up: manually every day from a bucket of water left over from weekly water change. Noise: I don't notice it at the moment because either I have my AC or fans running...

For reference my filter has 620 flow rate advertised and I feel like it is good enough, but I do have some staghorn algae. Not sure if that is flow related. If you scale the flow rate by area then you end up with around the same flow rate as me. Whether it works like that or not I don't know...

I have a 60p sized tank, and I used the ADA recommended lily pipes (P-2 and V-3 I think) with an Eheim 2215. One option would be to use a hose size adapter although this would likely reduce flow rates. However, the filter you have chosen already has a very high flow rate for the tank.

Thanks so much for this - definitely was going to end up drying them out probably since I have two sets of bags now for swapping. Also explains why the new bags I got yesterday were slightly damp.

Not sure if you tried but repeated soaks in new bleach of low strength would eventually get it there I would think.

Don't make the same mistake as me and use bleach containing sodium hydroxide. Still has a swimming pool smell even after the prime and buffer rinses. I sourced pure bleach (1-10%) which fingers crossed will do the job.

Yeah pack the filter with media as much as poss. If you have a filter with eheim taps you can try shut them a bit. However I recently tried that when doing maintenance or something and found if you shut them too much they started leaking a bit, probably due to the pressure. Sent from my Pixel 4...

Eheim is the only alternative then I think, but the flow is going to be high. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Hydor heater and eheim 2215 on my 60p size tank.

Lily pipes are usually done on the inside diameter.

What info do you want? Not used it myself but for those who have then it will help you have can provide some more specific questions.

Eheim 2215 does well on my 60 L. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Could use a circulation pump or two, like the ones used in marine aquariums.

Also known as 13mm.

I have the classic 350 on that size tank, upgraded with the impeller from the classic 600. It's a lot of flow through an ADA lily pipe but a lot less through the Dymax lily pipe I had before which had a much wider oulet. Had to buy it new unfortunately as not much up for grabs second hand where...

Any of the smallest externals from the main manufacturers would be ok, a Fluval 105 maybe?

Yeah I'd bin the media and just give the filter a good clean and soaking, I mean I don't know what media you were using for marnie but generally it's different to freshwater media.

Never had any problems with just bunging cold water in to be honest.

Pretty sure George Farmer uses one the same make / type as the last one you posted. Also pretty sure that he thought it was great.

A shop called Ultimate Discount Aquatics do their own media bags and some Aqua Medic ones. In effect these are like a quarter of the price because you get like 2 for £4 and 2 for £6 (depending on size and price.)

A combo of Nature and Day bulbs makes my aquarium look really yellow. I'd rather have the Day ones myself, I bet it'd look better.

You're getting into marine style equipment now George. :o (By this I mean the sort of stuff you could use on a reef aquarium.)
