My friend bought it along with one for him direct from the company with a 10% discount voucher he had. Normally they're about £70 for the version without UV.

Checked out the All Pond Solutions filters and they looked great....trouble is none of them or the Eheim Pro 2 or Eheim Ecco Pro 200 will fit in my Juwel Vison 180 cabinet...I need to find a slimmer model because 'she who must be obeyed' will want it out of sight

Its not the height thats the problem ...its the width and being bow fronted makes the width smaller and measures max 205mm

Why not get an extra bit of wood the same colour of the cabinet (or have one cut to size), bung some magnetic catches on it, remove the shelf in the middle portion of the cabinet and put the filter in there behind the "new door" you just made ? Or you will end up with ugly powerheads in your tank to get the flow you need
I had the same 'she who must be obeyed...' so had to go for the JBL e1501 which does fit in the Vision 180 cupboard and allows the door to be shut.kellyboy47 said:Checked out the All Pond Solutions filters and they looked great....trouble is none of them or the Eheim Pro 2 or Eheim Ecco Pro 200 will fit in my Juwel Vison 180 cabinet...I need to find a slimmer model because 'she who must be obeyed' will want it out of sight

Would I not be able to get away with the JBL E900 as its considerably cheaper and suitable for tanks up to 300l :?
depends on what you want the filter to do. If it is just to increase bio filtration then yes. If you desire greater water circulation to catch suspended matter then get as big a filter as you can. How about powerheads?kellyboy47 said:

What instead of or as an addition ?

sorry. I cannot access that link. I used a 900 l nano powerhead. They work well at moving water in a calm manner. If you have dirt settling in your tank you probably need the filter. Although a powerhead can increase flow to help move any dirt to the filter intake.

Sorry about the link it was a Hydor Koralia NANO 1600 Circulation Pump for £31 or a Hydor Koralia NANO 900 Circulation Pump for £24 so do you think one of these and poss the JBL E900 could do the trick for my 180l Juwel tank with its own internal filter ?
