Looking At A New Filter.

[techen]

So I have a old ecco eheim and lets face it, The ecco wasn't the best filter made. I want to upgrade for something with a better flow and is hard as nail as te eheims. Been looking at a Tetra 1200 or the new Eheims with ajustable flow. Anybody reommened a filter? My tanks is around 200Ls.

Maidenhead Aquatics Aquamanta EFX 400, their range of EFX's is great value for money, I run the EFX 200 on my 60 giving 13 x turnover, an EFX 400 would give you about 7 x Turnover which is fine as your tank is low tech mate, could even go with the EFX 600 if you want really good filtration. Oh and they're so so so cheap for what you get for your money.

Sounds good but I do have a 1600lph powerhead as well in my tank. So would the EFX 400 would ideal?

Pretty much mate, an EFX 400 is around £99 so good value.

The guy on the phone said "No sorry it doesn't" Ohwell, Once I get spare cash am off through to get it. The store looks huge, I might end up buying more than what I came there for. Must resist impulse buying!
