P@H/Coopet Nano cube

[Johno2090]

Yeah they get sucked into the slider *Cough* lost an otto to the slider *Cough*, I Used to use a piece of filterfloss over it, but it got filthy too fast! Thats where most of the water goes through instead of going through the actual filter unit.

15l = 10"x10"x10"

Hogan thats the ones I use, in the 30l I use the 3 section filter, dosen't disturb the surface water much but does a good job of filtering the water which is good because the betta keeps gettin annoyed that i destroy his nest Should be enough room in it to add some filter floss or a thin strip of foam.

My god this thing is a menace Have had enough of it. Going to replace it with either a dennerle nano clean corner or one of those new eheim corner filter/led light combos if I can get one without the tank.

I've just ordered the Dennerle nano corner whatsit, will let you know how it is when it arrives (£16 ebay fyi).

 

[hotweldfire]

Ta, will look it up. LFS owes me some money and reckon they stock it. If they're out I'll get it off ebay.

I've just bought the 15l one to use as an unfiltered Betta tank Light seems pretty dim, but we'll see. That's probably not such a bad thing though.

The hairgrass in mine is sending out runners steadily with the 11w light, and everything else (lileaopsis, microsorum, bolbitis) all seem happy - admittedly not the heaviest light requiring plants but seems to do the job.

Dennerle corner nano filter arrived today, seems good at first glance. Similar size to the one supplied but takes up less space due to being triangle shaped and has much more media area. Flow seems comparable to the max setting on the old one.

The clear spraybar looks good but actually shows up against my black background more than the old one did, and the white filter media is very visible as the casing is clear. I might still wrap a pair of tights around it, as baby shrimp could still fit through the intake holes, but once inside would be safe as it's designed such that there is no way they could get sucke dinto the pump itself.

Tom, is it no higher than the original one? Bought a Fluval which was a mistake as it is too big.

I've been chasing a local P@H tofind these are now discontinued. I managed to snag 4 x 30cm's that were bought from Macclesfield by an area manager.

Good luck on your searches.

Had a look for one of these today in my Local P@H, to discover a big gap on the shelf, Although, would have been interesting trying to get one home on the back of my bike.

I got mine from P@H today. This thread has been an inspiration!

Will be running Fluval 105 external (or G3) and Gush 12mm nano glassware from APFUK.

I can see a class action against P@H for all the lost shrimp\fish developing

Cool, do a review on the gush kit.

I splodged some silicone around mine earlier. You can just rip the flow adjusting slider off to seal that area up better. I cant believe these things have been built so badly!

Not wrong mate. They will at least be getting a strongly worded email from me about it. 3 S grade CBS for :silent: 's sake.
