All pond solutions external Ef-150

I've not used this but a friend has one of their larger canisters and it works very well. They're re-branded Sunsun units.

If you're after a cheap, effective canister, then there's a seller on ebay who is practically giving away Hagen Marina CF canisters. I run two CF-80's on my 240 litre tank and they're the best filters I've ever owned.

The CF-20 or CF-40 might be worth a shot?
 
Only things to watch are, out of stock, delivery in 16 weeks and tubing is the slightly non-standard 16mm/11mm as opposed to every other filters standard 16mm/12mm tubing.
 
Used to have the 2000 filter and was very quiet, comparable to eheim for quietness; I had it for about 3 years but then I got the Eheim bug and gave it away to my mate who has had it for 6 years and is still going strong.
Would I buy again? Definitely.

yeah so I see, I was curious about the tubing, would be a shame if the tubes can't be changed out

that's a good shout actually, i'll check it out, I also need to make sure I don't overdo the flow as the tank is only 12 litres

I've got a 7 and a 5 year old ones from the 2000 EX versions still running. They aren't that quiet anymore but they've been running without any parts changed yet.

I bought one of those CF Marina ones a while back. It was crap. Noisy, poor flow. Returned it.

Both of mine are silent compared with the JBL e1501 they replaced.

Tested the flow with media in and it's around 600lph which is a lot lower than the stated 1325lph but most manufacturers tend to state the pump output when empty with zero head height.

Is it possible you got a bad one?
 
Late to this but I run one of these on my 40l cube and am very pleased with it - it runs nearly silently and holds its flow rate well imo
