tfoster Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I am looking at getting my new tank this weekend, and wanted to order my filters etc. Are these filters up to the challange or should I look at spending more on a Ehiem or Fluval. Also should I use a second external or an internal? Or one enough It will be a 4ft x 18 x 18 tanks CHeers Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 My brother is currently using Aqua Pro cannisters. They seem to be going fine. Pretty small media chambers in comparison to other filters of equal flowrates IMO. I would say use them if saving money now is more important. You will probably have to repair/replace it more often than an eheim so in the overall scheme of things, prices would probably balance out. As for secondary filtration, you could so without it, but it never hurts to have a backup system in place if your primary filter was to die for some reason.

BlakeyBoyR Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 We use two CF1200's on a 300 odd litre display tank at my work and we have no problems with them. Just clean the impeller, shaft, hoses etc. every so often and you shouldnt run into any problems. Maintenance is the key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
