I've been searching high and low the last few weeks for a small filter with a built in heater to no avail.
I can't belive nobody has made one, nano aquascapes are the hardest to hide equipment in and yet there's nothing out there.
Im running a oase thermo 100 on my 35cm cube which works brilliantly but is abit too large and powerful for my 25L nano im setting up.
I saw the oase filtosmart 60 has the same blanking cap as the bigger versions you can convert to the thermo's with an extra part.
After some research i found that the filtosmart 60s are too small for any of the oase heaters, although the Thermofit converter still does fit into the blanking socket!
I've found that a "SuperFish Nano 50w" has the same circumference glass heating element as the oase, but are much shorter, so they fit and seal perfectly in the oase filtosmart 60! The perfect little filter heater combo for nano/picto aquariums!
The actual filter i brought is from Eden who got brought out by oase. exactly the same as the oase version but with a semi transparent case (you can see when filter gets mucky).
Amazon had a sale on eden filter for £28
Heater was £15
Thermo converter was about £7
So a great little thermo filterfor around £50, a bargin i thought, what do you guys think?
