Would like to know this myself as I came home today to my filter not working [emoji35] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you tried it without the media in the see what the flow is like

Theres one on Aquarium Plant Food.

Does anyone know where to get the suction cups for these devices? Mine keep coming unstuck from the glass! Cheers

APS Hobs are noisy If in your bedroom.

Hi Sanj, i removed mine in the end as the flow was decreased significantly.

I ran an EX1200 on my 125. I now have an Eheim 2078 though.

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion Doubt it mate think its been out or a while now and the box says pc only

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion I couldn't install windows with boot camp, I had to install it via VMWARE let me know if you need any help with that.

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion Crappy Eheim mate for not making the software available on other operating systems lol! Next problem to tackle is the Seneye!

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion Ok so i managed to sort the controller out on my mums laptop instead of my mac (bootcamped) and its worked fine, flow comes on full at 10:00 and cuts by half at 10:00pm. Pretty happy with that.

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion No there green, but I think there is one orange light on as well

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion Ok ill give that a go tonight mate, yes thats how i had it set up as i wanted it to reduce flow by half from 9pm until 9am and then full flow from 9am until 9pm, thats how i realised this morning that it hadnt worked as it was at full...

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion Not sure? I set up all the different options and saved them so you can "load" the settings. I simply loaded the bio mode i created, when i looked this morning though the filter lights did look orange but was fully lit, ie all the...

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion Ok so I received my eheim USB controller, first thoughts after install is that the software is not very stable at all. Constantly says not connected, and the software stalls and crashes. I can get all the different modes to load...

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion Yeh got it on finance got the i7 for £33 a month mate not fixed either! Can pay it off whenever I want. Next thing ill ask you is how to install windows 7 on boot camp with a USB pen drive lol

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion lol i actually ordered it before you replied i opend the uk version at the same time. No idea mate i hope it works with Windows 7 though.. i configured my mac mini yesterday so need to install bootcamp tonight.

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion Ordered my USB controller yesterday from Zooplus.de, got it for 46 Euros and free delivery. £62 in the Uk shop!

The gush one from APF is great, I bought a fluval set, and a pipe cleaner from eBay. Safe to say they were a waste of money. The gush one is sturdy and long and I wish I would have bought it in the first place!

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion How do you programme it to go down at night time automatically chris?

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion That's lame I've just bought a Mac mini

Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion Mines good as well however I wish I had the USB stick so I could programme the settings as I can't work them out manually, I have mine on manual now an have to turn the flow down at night as its in my bedroom and is a tad loud when...

Yes I have some

That seems to be a lot more powerful than my 2078!

No idea mate sorry, mine has an electronic control options + and -

Sold it mate, was a bit too noisy for my bedroom so bought Alistair's 2078 plus reactor, i can turn the flow right down over night which is great as its silent as a mouse!

My mate is running the Ex1200 in his rio 125 with no issues on flow or cleanliness of tank. I run an Eheim 2078 in my 125 litre roma 125.

I could probably deal with more flow in the tank tbh but then again i might be being greedy lol. Iam thinking of doing the mod to the FX5 outflow pipe so that it only comes out of 1 nozzle (so the flow velocity isnt broken down)

Mate i had BBA all over my substrate and plants, its not almost gone and hardly grows back and i put it down to the new filter. When i first got it i thought it might be overkill but it works just as i wanted.

I'm not alone then haha, i have a Koralia 2 to go with that as well.

For my Fluval 125 i am using a Fluval FX5 for filtration using the standard foam and balls.

I have a koralia 2 in my 125 ltr mate

I got mine for £60 off aquarists classified mate.

Yep I have the fx5 in my 125l it is great, best decision I made the ex1200 wasn't giving me enough flow.

I sold it mate, using the ceramic now under the powerhead which is giving sufficient distribution.

Yeh i sorted it out now the hose was too long and was creating a loop and collecting air pockets.

Just to confirm this filter is the best thing i have bought for my tank, its alsmost completely stopped my BBA do to better flow/co2 distribution and my tank has never been so clear. I had a lot of noise initially but after some modifications to the size of pipes etc the filter is as quite as i...

Re: fx5 outlets Yeh either that or my FX5 is nackard mate haha, but i can see why it would be higher flow with a spray bar because the holes are alot smaller than the fx5 outlets. My Shrimp and fish are fine.

Re: fx5 outlets I've just got one for my 125 mate and its not as bad as i thought it was going to be, i have it on full flow and its fine.

Lol clearly mine is not working like it should then as i cant sleep with it in my room had to turn it off over night. Going to give it a mega clean tonight and cut the pipes and see how that goes.

Ill have to give that a go tomorrow then, going to cut the pipes down to the exact size needed too as theres a big loop in them at the mo. cheers for the responses.

Anyone else had any experience with the FX5's? My tank is in my room and i had to turn it off last night due to a large humming noise!

Not getting it till Saturday mate.

Ok i actually have a glass diffuser as well so could stick this on for the time being. Cheers for the input i will message George.

Ok cool because i want great flow in my tank but i dont want a tidal wave haha. Comes with all pipework and media, is it 16/22 hose do you know? As i have a inline diffuser. Cheers

Al i have sourced a FX5 second hand for £80, just wondering whether this is going to be overkill or not though? What do you think? Can the flow be turned down sufficiently?

No i mean do you put it straight into the sink or bucket to sink if it drains the tank in 5 mins lol.

Cheers for that mate ill have a look into them, yeh i bought my last Tetratec 1200 from Aquarist Classified for like £40 so was decent price for that filter. Ill have a look out for the FX5 once i've read up on it. Where does your water go then once you use the pump?

No i haven't actually mate i will give that a go, whats the fx5 specs like?

Hi Guys, i don't think my Tetratec 1200 is cutting the mustard in my 125l tank. Can someone please suggest a better one which is going to give me better flow in my tank? Buying another 1200 is probably not an option as i cant fit another one in my cabinet. Cheers

Brush mate its got a brush on the end of plastic coated wire thats pretty sterdy but bendy at the same time its used to get hair and nasty stuff like that out of your plug holes lol.

Rudedogg i use drain cleaners for showers and plug holes and such there stiff and clean the pipes well. Think i got them from Asda.

Hi Jason i still use the white filter floss but i havent used the tetratec brand since the origional ran out. I use Polyester Wadding that i bought from ebay and it does the trick.

I rang Tetratec and they confirmed it was the valve adapter thing, they replaced it in 2 days and it works a treat. Although my filter is now alot more noisier... dont want to take it apart incase it breaks again ha!

Hi All, What can i do in the mean time whilst i wait for a new filter or new filter part, hoping to have the bits by the end of the week. I have the Karola running to generate flow but i have no CO2 due to the inline diffuser being out of action as well. Will the tank be ok with lights on and...

I'm having a nightmare with mine right now, starting leaking very small drips now i come home and its soaked my bedroom floor!

Ok so I bought a new filter tetra tec 1200 an the tank I'd clearer but clear enough it looks hazy. Any adivice now you know my set up? Cheers

Thanks for the reply guys, i ran the filter in my bath overnight and will reaplce with new media. Cheers

Hi I have just bought a tetra tec 1200 that has been used in a marine set up, what do I need to do to use this in my fresh water tank? Can I use the media that's currently in there? A quick response would be appreciated. Cheers

Ok so i got to a computer and can type this out properly for more help. 125 Litre Tank Co2 at 1bps Aqua One Aquis CF700 External Power Filter Dosing is an all in one solution Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus (NPK), E300 , E202 i dose 15ml of this a day I dose 10ml of Easy carbo each day...

So i change the filter pad last night Paul, wake up this morning to see the same situation :/

Hi Paul, I gave the filter a good clean about 3 weeks ago, It does not have a fine filter media as you are describing I do actually have some of this from old internal so I am going to cut some to fit the basket size. Thank you

Apologies on the poor post. I am using my iPhone to post here at the mo, picture is poor due to moderator including the small pic to this thread. To answer the questions, this tank is not a new setup it has been running for about a year. The fish I have to not rummage into the substrate either...

Yeh I will cut it to fit one of my trays and put it under the White filter media that's already in there. Regarding the batting I actually bought some before you posted your last message off eBay. It says fire retardant so i guess that won't work. Cheers

Thanks for the reply mate, I will give this a go, do I just cut it out and add it into my filter? Cheers

Hi all, Recently I noticed my water has become a little cloudy and it is nowhere near as clear as my friends planted tank. Please see below image. I'm wondering If it's my filtration system? Any ideas would be appreciated, I've looked into the overfeeding etc and it isn't because of that...
