Hi,
I have a 60L aquarium, it currently has an Eheim PickUp60 and glass heater in it. I've decided it's a bit too ugly, and I want to buy an external filter instead that can hide under the chair next to it so I have more space for plants and it looks less clunky.
Would anyone recommend any particular filters? The two I have my eye on are:
Eheim Classic 150 or 250 - https://www.aquasabi.com/EHEIM-classic-250
150 flow rate is 300L an hour
250 flow rate is 440L an hour
EHEIM ecco pro - https://www.aquasabi.com/EHEIM-ecco-pro
130 flow rate is 500L an hour
Also, they're all much cheaper on Aquasabi, would it be ok to buy them from there then use a plug adaptor?
Finally, how should I change over the filters? The Pickup only has a sponge in it, should I cut up the sponge and put it in the new filter for a few weeks, or should I run then both at the same time at a lower flow rate for a week or two?
Please do let me know if there's anything else to consider too!
