Hi all,
I've had my Juwel Rio 240 running as a successful low-tech since December. Lightly stocked with fish and shrimp - no trace of algae and plants growing slowly but steadily. Lots of floating plants.
I'm using the Juwel internal filter with an upgraded 1,000 lph powerhead, and in addition I have an Eheim Professionel 3 600 external filter.
The Eheim broke a week ago - just stopped working. I ordered a replacement but it still hasn't arrived. In the meantime I have added a Koralia Nano powerhead for additional flow.
Now, the fish seem happy as ever, the tank is spotless and I have noticed no ill effects of losing the external filter.
Do I actually need to replace it or shall I cancel the order?
Thanks in advance.
Sacha
