Jbl E700

[ian]

I don't normally review products but heres a quick review from me. I think it's good for other searching the web to see as theres not many reviews on this little filter (with a big big heart!)

I bought this filter and have been running it on my 80cm for just over 4 months now and it has been cleaned twice now. I just wanted to share the flow rate of it (the filter hasn't been cleaned for a month), this is it at water change today. I bought the filter to replace the Hydor prime 30, which had gotten noisy. I'm just so surprised how the JBL filter has kept it's flow, it's packed with Seachem Matrix, sponge, purigen and carbon. So god knows what the flow would be like if i removed all of that. Heres a quick vid of the filter 4 months on...

I got the filter for £50 brand new, and was in two minds to bother using it. I would hate to see the flow rate of the e1500!

not after I missed the free PFK one......I was holding out in the hope that they'd do another free nan-tank offer, but should've just gone for the filter.

.....I'll stick with my rattling 405 for now

Hope this filter is as good as it sounds.
My PFK subscription expired with June's issue.
In July they were offering this JBL again for the first lucky 150 subscribers
My postman arrived this morning with a large parcel.....
