Go for the Pro II thermofilter 2128 then, you'll not have to put a heater into the tank. I have the 2126 thermo and it's brilliant.

That sounds like a plan, £150 for the 2128 heated from the same site

Sounds good to me and you dont get the ugly heater in the tank.

tanks a lot!!! it all gets pushed to one side of the tank and away from the flow.

what, who, when!!!! Did somebody say my name? Its late, the world cup final was great and I have been on the sauce all day, thus I am staring at my computer screen through one squinted eye and I still cant focus!!!! I will post something productive in the morning when I am hungover !

I went a little nuts on my 75gal, w/a Fluval 404 and an AC 70. All together my tank is turned over 8.5 times per hour. I have lots of rock work so the smaller fish can get out of the current, and the larger fish seem to like swimming against it. The water is always crystal clear, and extremely oxygenated. So, although you don't necessarily need to go crazy like I did, w/mbuna I recommend as much filtration as you can get.

Eheim seem to get recommended by everyone I think I`ll look at one when I upgrade.
I`ve also heard JEBO filters are good and the prices are ridiculously cheap £49.95 for 1200lph model.

If only all filters where as cheap.

EDIT for got to say Tanks has a Tetratec I believe they are worth checking out.

Wow that seems an awfully good price, can you pass on which website this is on? Thanks.

Dont forget the rena xp3 filter aswell .

 

[Nick Sw]

So we`ve recommeded Tetratec, Fluval, Rena, Eheim and Jebo so far are there any left !!!!!

Sorry that may be my fault, I think most people would say Ehiem are the best but some of the other manufacturers may give better value.

 

[mamafish68]

since your looking for an internal heating system, I suggest the tetratec also, it's an amazing filter.

 

[Cheffi]

Poor guy must be thoroughly confused now

Now I AM on the floor laughing

 

[adambrum]

Quite simply the Eheim is the best but costs the most.

(im sure someone will argue)

 

[brewyn]

No arguement from me Adambrum, they are very good filters, but dont have the flow that fluval have!!!!
