I had to clean my Eheim Pro 3 350 in a hurry tonight as it seemed to be totally clogged (virtually no flow). The bla5ted thing took me over an hour to get going again; I only managed it by continually pouring water in through the inlet and outlet pipes and then running it; doing the same; again...

Just found the Biopower 160 for £26.22 + p&p from Aquatics Online. I'll get it and put in a handful of mature SUBSTRATpro from the Pro3-350 filter on the main tank - that should get the new tank cycle off to a flying start. Cheers for your help. Peter

Thanks for the reply Darrel. You've prompted me to dig into the Eheim range a bit further and I've spotted the "Biopower 160" - an Aquaball of the right size for the Korall but with the bio media used in the externals. Would this be an even better option? Peter

Daughter #1 wants a fish tank and, as she's supposed to look after this one herself, I want to run it as low tech as I can. I have bought a Juwel Korall 60 (I guess about 45-ish litres of water allowing for substrate and not filling to the brim etc). My only concern is that it comes with a very...

I feel really dumb asking such a basic question, but the pipes of my (relatively) new Eheim look like they need cleaning and I'm sure that there is a right and a wrong way to do this. I have the Eheim brush-on-a-thick-nylon-monofilament. What is the correct way to use this? If it makes any...

Just to finish this thread for future generations who can use the 'Search' button ... I did as planned and simply chopped up my old Juwel sponges into the bottom (first) compartment of my new Eheim filter, put in the Eheim bio media and put the lid on. All has been perfect, with Ammonia and...

Came across this page earlier - may have helped me in my recent search for a new filter: Warning: It's a bit US-centric (what's new!). http://www.petsolutions.com/Info.aspx?id=59 Peter

Ok, I'm now the proud owner of a Eheim 2073 and am planning my changeover in detail. My current thought is to cut up the matured sponges that are currently in the Juwel internal into inch sized cubes (2.5cm cubes if you're not bilingual ;-) and put these into the bottom (first) section of the...

The messages above explain why I couldn't see the 'For Sale' section. Hopefully after this post I will be able to explore the hidden delights that lay within ;-) Peter

So, you're keeping secrets from me, eh? :wink: Peter

Drat - in between my post and checking back here just now I've ordered a Pro3 model. Hey ho - thanks for the offer. Curious - I've clicked on your link, but it says that I'm not authorised to read that forum. Peter

I dont beleeeve it! I've just got an email from them saying that theyre out of stock and can't get any more. Back on the search again :x Peter

Alas, too far at too short a notice (I know that's nobody's fault but mine ;-). Now if only it had been next weekend, I'll be in Tonbridge and might have arranged a diversion. Have fun everyone. Peter

Lisa's led me astray :lol: Eheim 2026 from the site that she posted a link to for £105. No media, but I'm first off transferring the old media from my Juwel filter and I have some extra filter sponge and ceramic media etc in the cupboard anyway. My thanks to everyone for your responses. Peter

Yes, I found one at about 04:00 this morning with some of them on, but I think that just added to my gonging headache that I had this morning. :crazy: I'll renew my paracetamol dose and have another go looking for it. :wink: Now that's a snippett I'd missed so far in all my discussions on...

I have the Rekord 800 (about 90l if you include substrate and wood displacement). My lights are only 2 x 18W T8, so I guess I'm aiming for medium tech ;-) I've tried looking at Eheims, but to tell the truth I've got so confused with model numbers etc that I've kinda given up on them. I can't...

I've seen very similar filters from JBL, AquaOne, TetraTec and AquaManta (Maidenhead) recommended on here on multiple occasions, so I assume they all work and they're all (just) in my price range. The key question is which will be quietest for use in the living room? If there's a disturbing...

The thought has now been sown in my mind that I should transition from my Juwel internal filter to some sort of external filter whenever I can sneak such a purchase past SWMBO. :shifty: :shh: I'm just musing now about how to rapidly mature the new filter. Do I simply squeeze the gunk from...
