    Eheim 2217 BioMedia

    Alfagrog is cheap and popular. Also ceramic bio rings with a couple of filter sponges will work :-) prefer this to filter moss as it's easier to rinse. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

    I maybe completely wrong... But I think the bacteria may of definitely multiplied over and over.. I'm assuming it would be perfect conditioning for bacteria? But that's just me on a whim lol who knows Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

    New External for 425 Litre Lower Tech

    @ Alister I Think we will have to agree to disagree on that one buddy. IMO low tech is to grow plants with very little input. I guess this is just opinion based though. I believe if your providing additional fertilizer then I believe it becomes high tech. The el natural style suggests of...

    New External for 425 Litre Lower Tech

    Merry xmas Mate, sounds great what your doing but I'm confused a little, u say you want to make a lower tech tank and then say u aim to use Fertz and co2? The moment u begin to manually fertilize your plants is the moment it becomes high tech? I don't believe there is such thing as a middle tech...

    Do Eheim Taps grip 15mm OD hose?

    Yeah exactly Mate, and as u say the screw fitting point would tighten it anyhow. I know the 2217 is the same pipe sizing as the 2213 so we will be fine, I'm sure. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

    Filter recommendation for fluval nano

    I'm not sure it's an upgrade to be honest, as I said previously it's good for what it is and does the job, but will never stand up to an external. I have better internal filters but their too intrusive so never use them. So as a temporary filter until I sort out something else their fine :-)...

    Ehiem 2217 Pipe sizing..

    ok nice one.. but I have decided to go for the eheim 2215. As I managed to get 2 of these for 70 quid.. I have 13mm lily pipes on the way so I assume I just get adapter size connector things to join from one size to another? I have never had eheim so just curious..

    I'll second the 305, as for 10x the amount, correct me if I'm wrong but the 305 chucks out 1400lph so more than enough for a 3ft tank. Assume it's 3ft due to the 100L capacity lol. I used to have one on a 103L tank for a year with a turtles frogs etc did an amazing Job. I know dan Crawford...

    Where would u buy clear acrylic tubing from? I definitely prefer a spray bar to a lily pipe but have stuck with lily pipes for the basic reason that the doesn't is over dominant. A clear spraybar would definitely work nicely. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
