I have had this filter running for about 2 months now. My view is...get it! its got plenty flow for your tank and is one of the best filters iv ever used. It is silent, has great power and is easy to adjust if needed. It looks cooler than most of the other filters around atm as well. :)

There seems to be a growing number of us who have had a bad experience with the Ex1200. As sam says above, the ex600 is great, iv not had a leak and its quiet..apart from the problem mentioned above. Its a shame as for the price (if it worked properly) itd be a good filter. Thanks, Howard

Hi all, just wanted to make a reply to this as to what i have decided. I ordered an eheim 2078 professional 3e 'terminator' (:P) filter and it arrived today Ordered it with 8l of media - the little balls and the small ceramic tubes. I must say it was so easy to set up, the only problem being...

Hi, as on my other post mentioning buying an eheim filter, my main problem with my Tetra1200 was the humming noise... also it seems to get air trapped in it too easily, and with it being in my cupboard its not easy to shake...also when i shake it it leaks....and then theres the U-bends supplied...

Hi sam, i am also running a Tetra1200 on it. currently that is all i am running along with a 600lph powerhead. However, i have started to notice, about 2 weeks after set up that it is just inadequate for the tank and i need something bigger & more powerful. Im away all weekend so il probably...

Thanks for all your replys guys. I have decided against the FX5, i have read mixed reviews on it and therefore will probably not choose that now. Also, as someone suggested, i already have a Hydro 300 external heater, and have been looking at the Eheim 2078 pro 3 electronic. I have heard...

Evening all, I am looking at buying a Fluval FX5 or Eheim Professional 3 Thermo to supplement the Tetratec 1200 on my 300l. I am pretty much open to any suggestions but the main point i would like advice on is how noisy are they? It will be sitting next to the tank, which is about 2 foot from...

Hi, im currently running a tetratec ex1200 on my 300l. I have the spraybar at one end which creates good circulation around the tank (you can see this if you watch small particles floating around). However, i also have a nano 600lph powerhead at the opposite end shooting towards the gravel to...

Thanks guys, Starting with colonised media isnt a problem, ima run the tank on plants only for as long as i need 2 anyway, my other tank can stay where it is for now. I will be running solely on a ex1200 during this as the 600 is on the other tank...i have got a spare 600lph powerhead to help...

Hi, I am currently setting up a 4ft (Juwel Rio300) planted tank. I have most of the equipment i need. but before i start i need some advice of what to put in my filter. I have removed the internal and currently have a Tetratec ex1200 ready to go when i fill up and plant the tank. I will...
