    Leaking filter

    In a word no, I used to use the 104 and 204 which are pretty much the same as the 05 range but in grey. My other half also uses a 205 and never had a leak. Is the top half correctly slotting in? There is an O ring around the top half aswell - is this clean and free from defects (and present...

    eheim nightmare

    Once you do get it going I used to find with my fluval 104/204 that tilting the filter slightly helps get the last few bubbles out.

    Aqua One Aquis Advance 1050 - Leak

    Yep that Martin :) Cool hopefully it'll be sorted very soon!

    Aqua One Aquis Advance 1050 - Leak

    You could always contact Aqua One? You never know they might honour the warranty. Out of interest how/where did you buy it? As buying on ebay auction or buy it now gives you different rights. If you can get it fixed for free, and I think you should, you might as well try. It shouldn't matter...

    Aqua One Aquis Advance 1050 - Leak

    Is it second hand or new? If it was new a month ago I'd be taking it back to the shop!

    Which is the quietest 1200: JBL, AO, TT or AM?

    Andy uses the 2224, so that was the one I meant. However if you choose another of your own accord that's not my fault :P With the circulation thing I would do that with eheims because of the EOC claims ( ;) ) that they don't clog as easily. You don't want to skimp on your filtration - it's very...

    Which is the quietest 1200: JBL, AO, TT or AM?

    Point one - yes I totally agree the ranges are mind boggling. I know your tank is the rekord 800 and is 90 litres, I did my research and then worked out your turnover for you :) I did find a web page the other day which had all the model numbers and the flow rates. I have just trawled my...

    Which is the quietest 1200: JBL, AO, TT or AM?

    I didn't think the TT ex1200 was that quiet tbh. I think there are some individual differences between filters of the same type. Andy (supercoley1) had the same as me, he went for an Eheim and said how quiet it was in comparison. Also really easy to use. As you need it to be quiet perhaps an...

    Short Spraybars

    Broken Ex1200 (again + again)

    Re: Broken Ex1200 (again) Lol mine did that. I stopped using the primer button and made sure I filled the filter back up all the way with water.

    filter for new setup

    I've got the tetratec ex1200 running on a 60x30x37.5. John, definitely go for something deeper than 30 if you can.

    Tetratec EX 1200 filter

    The shelf wasn't fixed in so I just took it out, this was necessary to fit the big blahblahblahblah filter to fit!

    Eheim 2324 vs JBL CristalProfi EL500 vs TetraTec EX1200

    I have the Rio 125 and an EX1200, the middle shelf came out for the EX. I must say I'm thouroughly happy with the tetratec. Big volume of media and cheap and had every attachment I wanted. The only thing is that the end cap of the spraybar comes off. I need to silicone it in I think...

    Anyone got one of these?

    Tetratec EX 1200 filter

    Hi Sam, I shall be opening up my filter tomorrow so if I have any problems I'll let you know. It's doing pretty good so far! Lisa

    Tetratec EX 1200 filter

    Just got the tetratec 1200 on the Rio 125. Love. It. The flow is crazy. Comes with all media and a spray bar!!! The hoses are clear and the spraybar and inlet are clear with a light grey hue. The inlet is telescopic. First filter I've set up myself and it was easy peasy. It was a tad noisy...

    FLUVAL FX5 Canister Filter - Noise

    I've only seen one in action and it was pretty quiet. Was kept in a cabinet though :D

    Water flow in the planted aquarium?

    Just sent it today :D I protected it with bubble wrap and a sheet of filter floss as you didn't have any media. Cost £8.25 to post it! 2.7kg hehe.

    eheim - pah!

    You surely will have some kind of warranty with the Eheim filters? Something like 3 years isn't it? I personally use X04 fluval ranges. People have said theyare rubbish and leak after 2 years, but I have had mine about that time and have no issues. The tubes need reputting back on once in a...

    Please advise on an external for 180L tank

    Then it may not be a rio 180 tank. As I say, it was just a tank alone. Doesn't come with any bottom border I believe rio 180 does.

    Please advise on an external for 180L tank

    Uuuum it might be a Rio 180... I just bought the tank on its own, it was in a hagen box... Just says 100 x 40 x 50 rrp £165 show price £85... I paid £20! Doesnt have black plastic bottom rim, just has black silicone, thick glass... around 10mm though I haven't looked at it in a while.

    Please advise on an external for 180L tank

    Thanks for all the replies! You know the fish shop I used to work in recommended the tetratec... I thought they didn't know what they were talking about though, as most people rave about eheim. Wouldn't the green blend in? :lol: I really can't decide if I should go down the lily pipe and...

    Please advise on an external for 180L tank

    I've been offered a 2026 for £50 delivered... Maybe I could get this until I can afford a new one? Im a bit worried about it though as its just a random person off aquarist classified... Shall i go for it?

    Please advise on an external for 180L tank

    What external filter would you recommend for a tank that holds about 180 litres? I have always used the X04 range from fluval but noticed that after a year or two they get quite noisy. Does anyone have a Rio 180 or similar that could recommend an external to me? I tend to agree with George...
