I'm planning to redo a tiny aquarium which has been set up for years, and is looking a bit tired. It's just 45 x 30 x 30 cm (about 40l).
Currently got a Hydor/Ekip internal filter in it, but the built in heater's broken, and it's a big old ugly thing. I'd obviously like to get the filter out of the tank, and as you probably guessed from the title, I'm fishing for any experiences with/opinions on the Eden 501 filter.
The aquarium's only animal inhabitants are tiny fish and shrimp (nothing bigger than about 3cm except a few ottos, andmostly smaller) so not much bioload. I'm going to use an in tank heater which I had to buy when the heater in the filter failed (Newatt aquarium heater - haven't seen it before, it's very small and unobtrusive, being matt black - very pleased with it).
So what do you reckon to the Eden 501? If anyone's used an alternative external on a tank this size let me know how that went to.
Cheers,
Mark
