What filter for 240L tank.

[dan1801a]

Looking for a new filter for my 240L tank.

I have Panaque's in there so it has to have good filtration.

Keep looking and getting myself confused on what model and what make to go for !! Eheim 2075, Fluval Fx5 or hourly water changes :whistle:

Any help advice please.

As long as you get a filter that can do a tank of 600 ltr capacity you wont go far wrong...It's really down to what model you can afford.

Price has a point but i do go alot by personal recomendations.

i prefer the eheim , long lasting and never a problem for me. A little more expensive, but in my view worth it. cheers jk :thumbup:

In that case, Eheim all the way :thumbup:

Have to agree, you pay good money for your fish, don't skimp on equipment. Nothing else touches my tanks but Eheim.

Any model of Eheim i should be looking at ?

A 2075 should do you nicely, does a tank of 600 ltrs and runs on 16 watts

Thanks for the advice.

Well went out today as its mothers day and got a Eheim Prof 3 600 , 2075.

Set up and running, must admit looks like it will do the job, quality is A1.

When sat down unpacking it my wife asks "Is that a external or internal filter? cuz you will losse alot of room if it goes in your tank"

Good job i love her so much.

Well i think a fluval FX5 is pretty good and they not that expensive anymore, you can pick them up off the internet from one of these massive warehouse aquatics places. and they can serve up to a 1000 litres, though the box claims 1200.
