Found this on ebay and was wanting 2, one for each ARC 35, both will be planted and have fish and shrimps but I dont want them blown around the tank lol.

Have you thought about a hang on back filter? on my Arc I use one of these: http/www.aquaessentials.co.uk/azoo-mignon-filter-360-p-1472.html

They give good turn over and the flow from them is pretty good also, easy to maintain, pretty quiet and cheap.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Yeah seen them but dont want a visible filter really.

One will have Scarlet Badis and Cherry Shrimp.

Other will have a few Apistos.

 

[BigTom]

I'd look for something a lot less powerful personally. Neither badis nor apistos really benefit from lots of flow.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

I cant find any externals less powerful, anyone got any ideas?

 

[StandbySetting]

the flow rate will be halved once it's full of media, with a spray bar the flow will be evenly distributed and not concentrated so it wont cause any problems.

Cool might get a couple then or a couple of these.

they're a bit expensive, Steve. Get a couple of these instead...

I have got the one from Ebay, i took a couple of weeks to come, but is a great little filter.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Thats so weird, thats the same filter as the one on my link but dunno why its that much i saw the one you have on ebay, do they come with pipes and spray bar etc?

 

[ian]

yep, it comes with everything. The spraybar is about 5", it does have good distribution though.

Cool always prefer getting things that have already got good reviews. As you can probably tell by now I'm setting up quite a few tanks in the near future lol, if the missus registers on here I'll be in trouble lol.
