Eheim 2074 Pro 3e through 12mm lily pipes?

[PM]

Hi, I am going to buy an optiwhite 60x30x36H soon, and need an upgrade from my Eheim 2322.

Would I be able to connect the 2074 to my 12mm lily pipes? I think the 2074 uses 16mm tubing (?) but I could use an adapter right?

Also I probably wouldn't run the filter on 100% flow rate, more like 50-60% according to the specs.

Just wondering if it's a good idea or not.

Here's a link: http://www.charterhouse-aquatics.co.uk/catalog/eheim-2074-professional-350-filter-p-2695.html

Thanks,
Paul.

Edit: Also to be used the Hydor inline heater and possibly inline CO2 reactor eventually.

I imagine it'd be fine, the superfish 1500lph filters are very good too for the money.

Depends on your intake, the cal aqua nano ones are the best from my experience.

I actually use this:

With a Power Men outlet.

Should be fine then, George does is with a 405 and I did it with a ex1200 and never had an issue.

Cool beans.

Just don't want the hoses shooting off and the house flooding when I'm out!

Prof 3 series from Eheim usually 16/22. I haven't seen smaller ones.
