Hi Jacob, Personnaly I would scrap it. On my 90 cm tank using all four sections of the spray bar to cover the length of the tank I found the flow was good in the first 40 cm but dropped off massively towards the end to almost a trickle. Without the spray bar attached it gives better circulation...

Go for the 300watt Hydor and change the hose to 16/22mm. I currently have one running on a 205 along with an Up atomiser. The standard fluval hose was a good fit to the Hydor but certainly wasn't as tight as normal filter hose. Also no problems attaching the 16/22mm to the filter.

I'll second Ed's opinion on the APS externals. Currently running a 2000ef on a 180 ltr tank and for the £ 60 I paid it is superb. Yes it may feel cheap to the likes of the bigger brands but its got all the media included and it gives one hell of a flow rate. Only draw back is the filter hose...

Thanks Ceg, Tank dimensions 90x45x45 Allponds 2000ef with spraybar running length of tank. Fluval 205 with atomizer with flow directed into spraybar. Thats my plan mate thanks,

Thanks for the replies guys. I realised they would be a reduction in flow but 42% is crazy. I think I shall be using my Fluval 205 instead for my atomizer and I can fit a Hydor 300 watt heater at same time. That way I can leave my main filter for filtraton only and keep up the flow. If I do...

Thanks again for the advise. I went ahead and bought one last week and yes it was cheap in comparison to the eheim's and fluvals but not a bad bit of kit, rough around the edges etc ect. Sorry to hear about the flooding Themuleous :( Will bear in mind the strength of this filter when cleaning...

Greetings all, I was wondering if its possible to reduce 21/25mm pipework( supplied with my filter) to 16/22mm so I can fit an atomizer to the return. As I will only need to reduce a section for the atomizer on the return only will this place undue stress on the filter or is it better to...

Thanks Hinch Thats the filtration sorted then.

Hi All, Im in the process of getting things together for my new set up and this is a strong contender in the filtration department. My concern is that in a 90x45x45 180 litres will this be to much flow. I know I should be aiming for 10x turnover so at 2000lph it should be about right. Is it...
