Hi all,
You probably aren't going to like this as a reply, but I wouldn't buy this filter, or any other cheapish new filter. I'd buy a 2nd hand "Eheim Classic" and if you need more flow? a pump, either a Koralia, or if you aren't feeling particularly flush a Maxijet powerhead.
I like Eheim Classics and Maxijets as they are solid tried and tested "old technology", they don't have many moving parts, or lots of seals and O rings, and they last almost eternally. In another 10 years time I'm pretty sure that my 10 year old Eheim Classics and Maxijets will still be running, and I'll be able to get spare parts for them. How many other filters can you say that for?
cheers Darrel
