Hi John I run these on my tanks and think they are very good. I haven't done any strict tests, but run two filters on each tank, one of which has the hydor, and icant see any difference between the 2 outlets. As Andy says, keep the pipe runs smooth flowing and you should be fine. You can get...

Hi ACS I'm assuming the tank measurements are in inches :?: For the filter, the rule of thumb is to have 10 x the tank volume in turnover / per hour ( ie a 200L tank should have 2000LpH of flow). Personally I prefer to run two filters, as it gives you more options to control the flow...

Re: Broken Ex1200 (again) Hi Garuf Two leaked so Tetra sent out 2 replacement filter heads in April. They both leaked so they have now sent out 2 complete brand new EX1200's. I'll try to put them to test this weekend and will report back :) Tony

Re: Broken Ex1200 (again) I decided to ring tetra again about this last Thursday, and a complete brand new EX1200 arrived today, and another one should be here tomorrow - you really cant beat that for customer service, especially as they did not ask for any receipt or proof of purchase. I...

Re: Broken Ex1200 (again) Same for me - no more Tetratec. Both my EX1200's started leaking, and Tetra were very good and sent me a pair of replacement filterheads overnight from Germany which I was pretty impressed with - until they both leaked everywhere too :) Only eheim for me now, they're...

Hi Johnny I'd be interested to hear how you get on with the MP40, I've been thinking about trying one for a while, as I'd rather not have koralias in the tank. The MP40 may be somewhat pricey, but if it works very well and means less gear in the tank I'm up for it ! Tony

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Great write up ! I bought the 2075 last month (£145 from Zooplus, delivered in 2 days :D ) and am so far very pleased with it - the flow rate seems very good. I have found it a little tricky to prime, but thanks for the tip - I'll give that a go. Cheers Tony

Hi Nick I've got an Eheim 1046 Universal pump, which I use to pump water out of the tank during water changes. Its plumbed in off a 'T' on the filter return pipe. It pumps out 50L in about 15 mins. Very quiet in operation, and so far performed perfectly - though its only been in a couple of...

Thats what I figure too Ed. Thanks Tony :D

Hi I've just fitted a Koralia 2 in my 300l tank last week. Like every one else, I think I could have done with the next size up ! I had no noise at all with mine. One question I have regarding them, is whether you should run them 24/7 or just when light / CO2 are running? I have 2 filters...

Hi Binsky Are you adding the eheim pump to the filter inlet to increase the flow rate through the filter ? I was just wondering about doing this as the rate through my 2026 is a little weak, but wondered if it was possible to pump it in ? How is yours going ? Ta Tony
