Filter Size

[Jessica's mum]

Hi
I have a Juwel record 96 and the pump is starting to play up

What would you advise I repace it with or should I just buy repacement parts for my pump.

I have been looking at external filters but most go 60-100l or 100-200l and I'm not sure which size I would require.

The tank is planted and I have 2 mollies, 3danios, 11 neons, 4 adult guppies and some several fry from the guppies and mollies.

We are planning on upgrading to a Rio 240 next year when we find a good deal.
thanks for your help
Kath

From what I've read on here, the Juwel filters are pretty much rubbish, and most owners replace them early on. As far as a replacement, you'll generally want a filter that can turn over your entire tank 3-5 times per hour. So, in your case, you'll want a filter rated for 288-480 lph. Hope that helps.
