Comparing Eheim and JBL externals that I had, I'll stick on JBL for noise level. Don't know about other filters.

Change the impeller between them and see if there's a difference. :) Cheers, Mike

Tetra has clear tubing, you might find it easily if you don't stumble on a cheaper one. (random link: TetraTec External Filter Hose EX400 | Tetra spares (External Filters / Spares) | FishPetsReptiles) Mike

I usually clean the external filters every 3-4 months (empty the canister, clean the prefilter and impeller), more often I clean the hoses and lily pipes.

I don't like it either, the power cord should be hidden inside the unit and I wonder if it has any room for filtration media. I have some experience with spreading the biofilm all over the tank and then fighting with all the nasty algae. Even a combo skimmer+a small filter doesn't work, it needs...

Looks nice Viktor but I still wouldn't trade it for my clear acrylic skimmer :) Eheim came with a new skimmer also: EHEIM skim350 more or less the same size, hopefully it won't have the same price tag :)

Looks nice: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aquarium-Lily ... 0992178604 ;) Some folks here ordered it, one is currently testing it and he says it works OK .. I can't since the inlet is 30cm, way too long for my aquarium's height. Mike

I'm not sure if moving to another filter will solve the issue. Yes, adding liquid carbon might help, just add a couple of dorps a day. You should consider trimming the plants to improve the flow and syphon the dirt if any around the wood. A rinse of the filter media might be needed also. After...

I'm working with Aquael Easy Heater range, they are nice and slim enough if mounted to the side of aquarium.

Hi Nathaniel, I'm using an Eheim 2075 with adapters for 12/16 tubing and 13mm gUSH lilys, and the flow is perfect for my 70x35x30 tank. http://www.aquariumplantfood.co.uk/tool ... -13mm.html http://www.aquariumplantfood.co.uk/tool ... m-207.html Or you can go for the gUSH 17mm ones and place...

Have a 3 stage that looks the same but different brand and it works fine, have it for over an year and still doing the job. :)

I remember using something like this when I had my pc water cooled: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-2-LCD-Water ... 0804858037

You can hook any RO unit to the sink/bath faucet with an adapter, just check the RO unit connector size and see if you can fit it, I think it's 3/4 but I might be mistaken. Mike

Oh sorry about that, then if you find a big enough T/Y connector and intake pipe then a couple of reducers it shouldn't be an issue.

I'd buy 2 lily pipes for output instead of joining them and reduce the flow of both filters.

With a bit of maintenance this should be avoided:

No issues here.

Most of the internal filters for nanos are super safe with shrimp so no worries there. If your budget isn't very tight I'm recommending you Dennerle's nanos, they come fully equipped with everything you need to keep a planted tank with shrimps. More info here Mike

There's no need to change sponges or ceramic rings, just rinse them. I know it's bad business for producers but these medias last for years. A good mix is: - sponge prefilter to catch the large things that enter the canister like leaves. - ceramic rings or plastic tubes to keep the dirt at the...

Why you people want quotes from books every time ... ????? No, they won't die, I didn't say to dry it ... just empty it, there'll be enough water and most important oxygen for them to survive.

Just empty the canister of water until you fix it.

Let it be, in a couple of days all the air inside the sponges will be released. I find floss a waste of money, time and flow, better use Seachem Purigen if you really need extra fine filtration. Though I don't really find it necessarily. None of my JBL filters leaked in 2 years. You could...

Check out the pipes and hoses and clean them. :)
