    juwel rio 180

    I've run one for years low tech. With the internal and a koralia nano 900. Upgraded the impeller to the 1000 lph and removed the koralia when I just grew java fern,anubias & crypts. Biggest problem may be in the T5 lighting, but I'm sure you can get around that.

    Recommend me a filter 60P

    Should do the trick nicely. I run a similar set up with the Ex1200. As much as I like Jbl filters the 901e didn't give me enough flow. And tbh when it comes to maintenance time,I prefer the tap set up on a Tetratec,to the block on a Jbl. Mines 6 years old,and never leaked.

    Best way to cycle a second filter

    If you're planning on running both filters on the new tank straight away, I would just get the substrate in,plant it up and get it growing. 4-5 hours lighting ,crank up the co2?,daily water changes. Or are you running 2 tanks in the short term? If so,are there many critters in the 70L? In this...

    Lily pipe choice for 60p

    Hi most dims for lily pipes are for the top of the arch, down. They also do a X2s which is shorter. One of our sponsors also do a shorter inlet as well (though it won't match the outlet)...

    Replacement Hosing

    My nearest MA @ Swindon sells clear,flexible hoses off the reel. Don't know if this is a nationwide thing,or just this branch.

    Which external to buy?

    Not if you use inline atomiser,heater and lily pipe. I use one on a 60cm x 40 x 30

    External filter noise levels

    Hi I've got a TT EX1200, it's a decent enough filter imo. After 5 years or so,it does have a faint hum,however it's in a Juwel cabinet which aren't enclosed,there's a gap at the back.Maybe that's why I even notice it. Wouldn't keep me awake if it was in a bedroom.

    Nano or small 17mm lily pipes

    I use this inlet & this outlet on a 60cm tank. Tim beat me to it.The inlet's excellent IMO

    Advice needed- external filter media

    Personally I'd lose at least one lot of the floss.I'd rather have to clean sponges more often,than lose the flow brought on by clogged floss. Just a thought.

    what filter??

    13mm is the inside diameter of the lily pipes and they're 3mm thick glass giving you the16mm, these fit the 12mm tubing from an external. This glass inlet is only 150mm drop. I have the larger sized one, and i'm happy with it.No drop in flow. Not as cheap as Hong Kong ones, but you get what you...

    Best external for a 60cm x 45cm x 30cm Signature

    I've a custom tank with virtually the same dims. I use a TetraTec EX1200 on it, with an external heater & lilly pipes. Works for me. If you don't buy new, they can usually be sourced 2nd hand for around £50 Whilst i've not used the JBL e1500, i've previously used the E701, and been more than happy

    where to place hydor koralia/koralias

    Some idea what filter you're currently using, what type of outflow it's using (spraybar?) and where that is, may help. I presume the Hydor is to be used as a supplement...

    External filter in a low tech tank?

    Either this ^^ or Tetratec ex700 which are cheaper than the JBL ATM. I've used both on the same size tank,at one time or another, and would be happy with either. The German site of the above link, can be cheaper, but never seems to have stock in.

    Tetratec ex1200 question

    For the record the older ones have 'TetraTec' on the cannister body. The new ones just 'Tetra'

    Eheim "ecco Pro" vs "Professional 3"

    More than likely, but EU to UK plug converters are pretty cheap.Ones with screw fixings, not like ones for toothbrushes :) Similar but not necessarily like this

    External Filter Choices!!!!

    Sorry i've never had an Eheim, so can't do a straight comparison. Any further insights into which brand mightn't make this a 'Happy Monday' ;)

    Juwel Bioflow 3.0 Compact

    Ed's guide on the other thread is a good one. I run my Rio with the flow from the internal along the back wall. Then a Koralia on the opposite side wall pushing the water back along the front. Experimenting with flow is one of the important things to learn. Your planting layout means that you'll...

    Juwel Bioflow 3.0 Compact

    i run the same system, and found the internal on it's own never quite did it. Ran a Koralia nano 900 for a while, now i use a small external with it.This helps with the flow & extra filtration. Not 100% sure, but i think juwel do a 1000lph powerhead that may well fit in there.To be honest, the...

    Juwel Bioflow 3.0 Compact

    Sorry what's the tank size? I've yet to read anyone who thought that the 'green' pad actually removes nitrAtes. Why not just leave it there as another sponge (saves buying another one) Also, if you're going to dose the water column for ferts,doesn't carbon remove some organics?. I can think of...
