Fluval 205 & Hydor External Heater

[russchilds]

Hi,
I've just got a second hand Fluval 205 external. It will arrive next week. Does anyone know if the Hydor ETH 200 External Thermal Heater will fit? I know the Hydor 200 is for inlet Hose 12mm but can't find any info on the hose size of the 205.

Can you help??

Many thanks, 😀
Russ

I'd say no. Basically, the Fluval ribbed hose is just plain anoying! If you look through this part of the forum you will find this has been asked a few times 🙂 I ran a Fluval 204 (basically the same filter) with silicone hose instead of the horrid ribbed stuff. When swapping to silicone hose you have to use 16/22mm (and therefore an ETH300).

Have a quick search in this sub-forum and I'm sure you'll find more info 🙂
