Hi all,
I recently set up a Dutch Scape in a Dennerle 50l, it's early days, but I'm using an external EF-250 filter, rated at 800lph.
Problem is, its incredibly noisy, even with repeatedly purging it, and adding vaseline to the impeller.
I'm looking at alternate canisters now, including a friend's eheim ecco 130, which I believe is rated at 500lph.
I like eheim so I don't really doubt the quality will be there, but in terms of the flow rate, will this be enough to avoid any issues? The EF-250 flow is currently ideal, so I'd like to gather opinions on whether I should avoid the eheim ECCO 130 or proceed.
