Hi Gang
I was wondering if you folks could write here your real flow rates on your filters and maybe we could create some guide based on experience. Filters are expensive and purpose is simple to avoid junk filters and to help others decide what is worth and what is not. As I am now struggling after disappointment with TetraTec Ex600 and going to buy something more powerful.
I am planning to get new tank between 65-80 liters heavily planted and I was considering to get one of these:
JBL e900 or Eheim 2071 or Hydor Prime 30 or Aquael Unimax 250. I would like to hear their real flow rates.
Just measure how fast will your 1 liter cup will be filled up then 3600/time to fill one liter.
Here what I measured or gathered:
Aquael MiniKani - Rated 300LPH - Real 225LPH
TetraTec Ex700 - Rated 700LPH - Real 360LPH
TetraTec Ex1200 - Rated 1200 - Real 700LPH - Thanks to Tom
