Hi,
I'm rather interested in these two makes of external filters,mainly because I like the idea of a prefilter that can be removed for cleaning without removing the whole filter from the aquarium.
I have a Juwel Rio 125 which has a capacity of 125 litres, it's heavily planted and filtered by a Eheim Classic and the original Juwel internal filter, altogether the two filters supply 1150 l/h which seems about right.
The Eheim Classic is a good filter but a bugger to clean so either of these two filters seem like a good investment but am I going to buy a filter that hasn't got the same quality and reliability of the Eheim brand?
I would really appreciate some feedback from people that have been running these filters on their tanks, I know that there are pro's and con's with everything we buy but to have comments from owners is more useful than manufacturers ratings.
Thanks in advance for any replies
