    54 litre aquarium - upgrading to a canister filter

    You can get quite cheap glass lily pipes on ebay. Less than £20, but will need to wait for them couple of weeks, as they are shipped from China. The only downside for me is that the glassware...breaks so easily :banghead: I have managed to break 2 intakes in the last couple of months:crazy:

    54 litre aquarium - upgrading to a canister filter

    And just to add to lot guys have said: You can not compare the efficiency of an internal with canister. The volume of the filter media- respectively the area colonised by beneficial bacteria is superior in times and this is what you want. Even on a 20l tank I run external filter and it is much...

    54 litre aquarium - upgrading to a canister filter

    Canister is a must! I have the same tank and I run 2 externals on it, as it is very high energy tank and the bio load is enormous. I haven't used this filter, but will personally save few more bucks and will get eheim or jbl....relaybility for me comes first.

    Go for the Eden, the boyu is stated at 150l/h but what is the real turn over....:confused: Always better to have stronger one, than weaker.

    External Filter for a 20 Liter Tank

    Charterhouse Aquatics has it, but the price is almost twice the price I paid.... also you can find it on Amazon, but the price is the same.

    External Filter for a 20 Liter Tank

    Hi Rob, I don't think it will work at that height. It is recommended to be at the aquarium level and this is where I keep mine. Probably if you put it a bit lower 15-20 cm it will reduce the flow, but not sure - By the way I have the suspicion that the hoses will not be long enough, . Anyway the...

    You welcome :) Of course you can attach lily pipes, as long as you find the right size.

    Hi mate and welcome back to the hobby. I am using the Eden 501 on my 20l nano and it is very good. Bought it from amazon for £28 :)
