Hi Everyone,
This information may help before You go to the shop and spend money.
I took EX700 for my Juwel 180. I decided that 700l/h [possible average flow rate 500-600l/h] will be far enough for my tank volume.
I`ve check the filter at the two water surface levels 150cm [59"] and 70cm [28"]. There was no media in the filter[!]
I`ve used 1l jug and my watch. The Jug was filled in 10 sec at the level 150cm and in 10sec at the level 70cm.
Real measured flow rate = 360l/h
I`d like to congratulate Tetra good marketing. It`s always easy to put on the box 700l/h but it`s not acceptable for me when REAL flow rate is 50% less :!:
That`s why i chose Eheim 2217...
