    Cutting fluval hose?

    Hi all So, I have a 576l tank with a 112l sump, I recently made my own co2 reactor, and wanting to fit the new model UV light from fluval on it. I usually use 25mm silicone hose to do the job, but thing is, it's very easy to kink up or bend if it needs to go around something. So I saw the...

    External pump on eheim 2075?

    Hmm that was a good idea. But needs to be bigger than my filter / 1200l/h. Which leads me to my first idea, of plugging in a external pump for the filter to run both filter and reactor, I also have a inline 300w hydor heater on there, so the filter is working hard hehe :-) .. That way I could...

    External pump on eheim 2075?

    Thanks :-) Well there's plenty of room for filter, but if you ask my girl friend there wont be any room for it :p I also thought about the eheim 2078 but then Ill have to deal with the electronics, I heard alot of bad things about that filter, and not sure if they make a none electronic...

    External pump on eheim 2075?

    Do any of you have experience with a good ~ 3000l/h pump with 16/22 tubes.

    External pump on eheim 2075?

    No I was planning to gut the pump for things, and not run both the same time :-)! Tank is 74 liter, planned on buying a 3000l/h pump to put on and take out my tunze powerhead

    External pump on eheim 2075?

    Hi, yea thought of putting it on the output side so its clean water running through :-) Would be ok I hope, worried about pressure in the head of the filter, but I guess theres norhing to be worried about :-) thanks

    External pump on eheim 2075?

    Hello all I wonder if it is possible to install an external pump to the eheim 2075? Instead of using the pumphead on the filter then using a more powerfull, say 3000l/h or will it cause too much pressure in the filter to the point where it will fail/leak? I dont like the current flow of the...

    Yea saw tunze nano but they are pumping out 1800l/h so the small koralia would be fine i think

    Nano powerhead what to get?

    Hey I have a 72l tank, and a 2075 running it. But after plants startet growing big the 2075 wont quite do the job. I have very little water movement in the right side of the tank atm.. So I thought about a nano powerhead, I heard good stuff about the koralia, but what do you suggest? I'd...

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    Thanks mate :-) Well, I figured since its a small tank and I have lots of ferts laying around it wouldnt matter to up the dose a bit.. Just to try it out hehe

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    Just wanted to show the tank, its been running for 1½ week now. Everything is still perfect. And funny as it may sound, not a single algae to spot.. Not even on the glass. Basically, stick with Clives advices (Thanks) :thumbup: Still doing water changes every other day. As for ferts, i took the...

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    Just wanted to update you, the 2075 is not overkill for a 72l tank.. infact I feel like I will lack some flow when every thing grows in :-)

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    Haha yea, glad I can turn it down a little if the flow is too strong. I believe it might be in the beginning until the plants start growing :-)

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    it has 16/22 fittings or what you call it :-) and the diameter is around 75mm iirc. Anyway I bought the 2075, lets see how that turns out :-P

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    Thanks for the Hint Alastair! Though im not a fan of the Eheim E models. My experience tells me they act up and slows down when you mount a reactor and heater and stuff on it. Aka it thinks it needs a clean but infact it doesnt :-) But could you link it to me :-P ?

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    Hmm yea, but with that size of reactor i hope it takes away some of the flow. I'd rather have too much flow than having to add powerheads later on.. My plan was to get a full length spraybar and mount along the back of the tank, pointing to the front glass.

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    The 2075 isn't able to do diagnostics? Only the 2078 right :')

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    Yea I belive the reactor + heater will suck up some of the flow.. Also the 1250l/h is with no filter materials inside (goes for all eheim models) So infact it might only shoot out 800l/h filled with filter media.. Hmm Actually I still have one of my 2080 sitting around. I also have a few...

    Eheim 2075 overkill for 72l aquarium?

    Hello I sold my old 530l tank about 9 month ago because I felt it was too much work to do.. Also was pretty expensive in electricity + co2 and ferts :-) Now I kinda got hooked again in this hobby.. But only a 72liter aquarium.. Will measure 60cm long x 40cm wide and 30cm high. But less time...

    Sure I will post em here. It will for sure be the new akvastabil series from Denmark called Mark II - http://www.farmlandshop.dk/product/akva ... salt-3167/ They have a finished product there with a sump. But I dont quite like that sump setup.. If overflow / drain gets clogged the return pump...

    Planted tank + sump

    Thanks will look into that, but I guess I'll be using the regular overflow pvc tubings, not sure about the design yet. And the design of the sump.. I hoped that there was a few on here that could share out some experiences with a sump :-) and how to create it the best way. Theres so many ways to...

    Planted tank + sump

    Hi guys. I was thinking of a new aquarium maybe 360l and a 108l sump that means ~30% biomass. I would guess that a filter that size would eat up some of the nutriens my plants will need? Or what do you think, will be dosing EI so I dont think it will be a problem. Reason I'm going for a sump...

    Where to place my powerheads?

    will try that. Clive, how come my surface scum turns into some red gunk sometimes when I skimm it off? Other days its white .. I cant see the logic in it. I dose 10ml of micro which should be perfect for my aquarium.

    Where to place my powerheads?

    Thanks Clive, I wonder if I should place my powerheads as he is doing, my tank is 160cm x55cm deep and 60cm high. So ye not sure 160cm is a long way to push water. Also I just prunet it down to like half the plant mass.. Was insane last weekend :p which gets me to my surface film, there was...

    I understand yea :-) And thanks for your posts, was very helpfull to me. Theres some pretty neat info around on this site :p I was thinking of buying another eheim 2080 and another reaktor and then a T or Y piece to fit on the Co2 tubing so I would get co2 out in both ends of my tank. I think...

    Actual flow is 25% of rated flow (Eheim Pro 3e 2076)

    I havnt read it all but I know the electronic filters from Eheim is critically with dirty tubes and stuff like that, also if you connect a co2 reactor to those filters, it will tell you that it needs to be cleaned and automaticly drops the flow (for some weird reason I dont know why). One of my...
