Filters

T1KARMANN - Thats good info - thanks.
I never thought of looking for one that could be slowed electronically. I always assumed that slowing the flow rate down would always mean the impeller was turning at the same speed just facing more resistance.

I shall indeed then look for a bigger and better filter. My fella suggested that I simply get another small one. But my problem with that is that I am already INCREDIABLY concious of the risk of leaks. Having 2 filters doubles the risk! *splash splash*

Thanks peeps.

I'm a fan of two of everything. filters, heaters, lights and all. redundancy is the safest option imo. two filters also reduces cleaning, if you don't increase stocking. my two externals need cleaning every 6-9 months, even then its often done because its "been so long", not "because it needs it".
