After lots of indecisiveness I ordered Aquael Ultramax 2000. Two smaller filters would have been my preference if my old filter wasn’t in its last legs. The prefilter really sold it to me but I didn’t dare to buy it cheaply from abroad in case there’s any issues with it. Fingers crossed it’ll be...

Thanks I haven’t got as far yet as considering size differences. I have JBL CristalProfi e902 in my 125l high tech tank and that seems fine although I haven’t have it long enough to have much of an opinion about it. Even that is bigger than 304 and I’d imagine beast flow filters are beast in...

That is an excellent point. One thing I’ve liked about Fluval 304 that parts have been readily available and straight forward to replace

Ah you mean just get another smaller one and run them both? One of my concerns is that it’s getting tricky to get parts for 304 as they are not compatible with newer models. Last time I broke a bit couple of years back my lfs couldn’t source a bit for it. I guess I’ve been lucky with it not...

I have the tank in my living room and I’m a bit limited on space so sump or multiple externals are probably out of the equation. I would also grudge needing to buy two filters to ensure one is working when I’ve managed long time with pretty basic one. Surely they can’t be that bad nowadays that...

That is a fair point and it’s probably easier to control flow patterns around hard scape with couple of power heads near the bottom of the tank than with hugely powerful filter. I have angelfish and I’m not sure how impressed they would be living in a whirlpool

Ok, thanks, so something like Fluval fx4 would be just enough giving an option to upgrade to high energy set up someday if I get overcome with that urge. Fluval 406 would do with my current system with slight upgrade to what I currently have. Probably then worth spending a bit more as there’s...

I’ve been reading about filters and totally confused. I’ve been running Fluval 304 in my 260l deep Osaka tank for 9ish years and although never had water quality issues I think the flow isn’t quite enough with heavily planted tank. I’m considering upgrade partly due to low flow and partly...

I just bought Hydor Koralia Nano from Amazon and it came with the magnetic fittings. Quiet and works well, minus point from super short power cord
