After asking advice from a well know Aquascaping shop who primarily deal with Oase filtration and being a little put off by Oase from a previous experience I wonder what else might suit my needs.
I'm looking for quality external, heated filtration, preferably push prime type to suit an ADA 45P and also a ADA 60P.
ADA 45-P is 34L
ADA 60-P is 60L
I'm not so fussed on the Pre-filtration feature of the Oase as it involves removing it from the cabinet/tipping it and also water, I think it's likely just easier to take the filter to the sink.
Also not so keen on the heater and the way it sticks out of the Oase head when you take it off.
I'd also like the heating to be self contained and not inline, one less connection to fail.
Reviews on the Eheim Pro 4+ are quite varied but they offer a 3 year manufacturers guarantee which is a big plus, although I know there's a jump in price.
I could see either the Eheim Pro 4+ 250T (950 LPH) or 350T (1050 LPH) suiting the 60P by the time the pipe is reduced to 12mm, a little unsure on the flow adjustment if any on the filter.

The only other experience I have of external filters are the Fluval G series which were so easy but no external heater and would likely be too powerful even if they were not being discontinued and had an internal heater.
Anyone with any feedback on the pro 4+ or any other suggestions, especially for the 45-P?
Many thanks
