After a few posts on this and curiosity on some specs how about we set up this post for filters and there rates both clean and established. I suggest this also covers some other basic details like filter Size, Volume and Media Compartments. This should help when deciding what to use for a filter in your planted tank.
Test process to be done with no spray bar or other fittment after the u-bend. If possible can you state if the outlet is at tank height or not. If we get a range i will post the lowest and highest figure. any unique but useful test can be noted.
once there is some concensus on this i will edit this post with a better description and subject.
Im suggesting the following stats per filter.
Make & Model
Dimensions - Volume - Compartments
Manufacturer Rate
Tested Rate: Clean, Established
E.G
Tetratec EX700
Size(cm) L21xW20.5xH42 - Capacity 6.6L - 4 Compartments
Manufacturer Rated 700LPH
Clean Tested - Actual Rate 290LPH
Established Tested - Actual Rate ???LPH
Im happy to populate this list with the common data for Rena, Fluval, TetraTec and Ehiem if we feel this is of use.
I will arrange the list in alphbetical order or rated flow??? thoughts please.
PS Im taking it this list will need more than one post. Is there a limit to post length????
