Hi guys,
I have recently acquired some additional kit for my 240litre tank in the run up to a rescape. The equipment in question is an Eheim 2224 filter and a Hydor ETH 300w heater. The potential problem that I have is that the filter uses 12/16mm piping, where the heater has a 16/22mm connection. Can I use some from of converter/connector to use it with this filter without drastically reducing the flow?
I have the possibility of swapping the 300w heater (16/22mm) for a 200w heater of the same make but that uses the 12/16mm connection. This would obviously overcome the connector problem but will the 200w heater be enough to heat 240litres of water?
Which is my best option in your opinion. I haven't used this sort of heater before so am flying blind a little bit...
