With a new tank on the horizon (60x45x36) I’m looking for real world filter experience.
Key things:
Circa 1000lph
Tank is in my room so must be silent.
Low running cost.
Heater is nice but not necessary, I tend to keep fish that prefer it cool.
Quality over money saving.
Simplicity over feature.
Not really interested in Oase, I’ve spoken to enough disappointed people who bought into the hype and the one I’ve seen in person I could hear humming away even in a cabinet.
I have eheims currently, 2213, 2222/2224 and I like the 2224 for how damn quiet it is, the 2213 I like the simplicity but it’s not anything like as quiet as it’s brothers.
I keep seeing the f-zone Ada-a-likes and thinking yes please but they’re meant to be euro incompatible.
I’ve used tetra and jbl in the past but both lacked the longevity I’d have liked.
What’s out there, what have people used and liked? What are my options?
