hmm, this may have been a costly mistake! Thanks for the info. Cheers Paul

I went for the 2800 in the end. I think I will remove the Koralia Nano and see how I get on with one bigger pump. I will let you know how it works out! Cheers Paul

Just a quick one. Do you think a Koralia EVO 2800 is overkill on 180 litre tank? The tank currently has a JBL e1500 and Koralia Nano (900l/h), the JBL is quite restricted with a inline heater and aquamedic CO2 reactor? The tank only contains Crypts. Your thoughts would be much...

Not attempted yet, but I have been doing some research and came across this website: http://www.teralab.co.uk/Glass_Blowing/Bending_Tubes/Bending_Tubes_Page1.htm I hope to find time tomorrow and will post some pictures of the attempt! Cheers Paul

Garuf! That is a great idea! I will go and a blow torch in my lunch break and I will try and post some pictures of my attempt... Cheers Paul

Thank you both for yor feedback. My current knock off lily pipe sends the flow down to the bottom of the tank and I find am losing a lot overall movement round the tank this way. Although this might be because it is a cheap replica. I think I may go for the Cal Aqua and a bit of surface...

Hello Does anyone have the Cal Aqua Labs Efflux F1 (13mm) lily pipe? http://www.thegreenmachineonline.com/products/aquatics/filtration-system/lily-pipes/cal-aqua-labs-efflux-f1-13mm I have an ebay lily pipe which points the flow downwards (a lot), I think this (the Cal Aqua) could be more...

Cheers stevec! That's quite a saving.

That is a massive price increase! I was going to buy one this week expecting to pay £89.95! Back to the drawing board... need a big filter that will fit in a Rio 180 cabinet?

Hello johnyjr I will try to explain my reasoning. I plan upgrade my low-ish maintenance tank, the new tank will house all my existing crypts. I am also a keen keeper of anabantoids and as such would like to keep spray bars on my outlets. It is best to consider the tank closed as it will...

Hi Andy Thanks for that bit of info, not sure I like the sound of gurgling! Maybe I will try an inline reactor, I have had my eye on the Lunapet bypass reactor, but was concerned about flow restriction with both CO2 and heater on a single filter. I guess if I have one filter introducing...

Hi johnyjr I'm glad the you have the same size tank and like it. I have been thinking about it for ages! I admit I wanted bigger, but apparently we have to keep the sofa!!! So extra height it was! Running one spay bar for heat/CO2 sounds like a good idea. I will then have more control over...

Hello all I am after some advice on filters and CO2 on a planned 36" x 24" x 18" tank. I was considering two Eheim 2217 classics, a Hydor external heater and an Up Atomizer for heat and CO2. I will be running spray bars, but my concern is with CO2 distribution and the different rates of flow...
