I've got a 3e 2078, and it's very nice. I use the 12 hour bio function so the fish can rest with low flow at night :yaw1:
Dunno if it's worth the extra as it's my first Eheim, but it's a great filter with a ton of media and a very strong, quiet pump.
The only negative is it's a bit fiddly to prime and get going. By comparison, my cheap-ish Aqua-El self primes like a champ, is also very quiet, but doesn't have anywhere near the throughput.
Mine keeps the water very clear.

A mate used this stuff on his car windscreen and it worked well.
Did some googling, and apparently it works as long as you can't feel the scratches with your fingernail

I thought they'd at least put some monsters in National Park - Mt Doom and all that :evil:

No worries. Good luck with the Oscar

What was the netting for, Caryl, keeping that Heron away from the fishies?

I can help you out - I've PMed my cell number to you

Someone was driving the camera early this morning - lots of close-ups of the chicks

Looks like there's two hatched now

Are there any women here?

Cool :bounce: Mum's asleep at the mo :yaw1:

Yep, just a few emerald eye rasbora, but they are happy. The tank seems settled now, it's got that cycled feel to it.
Plants seem to love the substrate. My hairgrass is spreading along tiny runners now, and the dwarf chain sword is almost right the way across the tank. Swords have almost tripled in size
I asked the guy I got my lot from how he imported it, but no reply. I've contacted the manufacturer in the U.S to ask how to get more. Only just started the email conversation with them, but I'll post here when I've got some news.
Have you tried the guy in this thread who said he can get it?
I dug up some tea tree roots a couple of weeks ago. I'm almost ready to tear down the tank :bounce:

Looks like a red line torpedo barb :sml1:

What about CLR - calcium lime rust remover? You can buy it at Bunnings last time I checked. Might be worth a go.

I keep them because I want to know more about them, and I enjoy it.
I keep them as I make money from it.
I enjoy helping people realise that reptiles are not scary- that's why I do Kid's expo's and help people out.
I look after my stuff...well.
If I need advice i ask for it.
Nothing wrong with doing things that benefit me and the animals I keep.
There is something wrong with people who do things that make them feel good without any benefit to the animal....
So it's not all about the animals, then - seems it's more about you :roll:
-
....but it's about the animals, not you.
Then why do you keep pets? By your own standards, you're a hypocrite :facepalm:

Pretty weak apology :-?

I didn't realise all Hamilton's water went through carbon. Wonder how much they go through in a month?

Typical media reaction - "I felt calm when we were rolling" doesn't sell papers or generate clicks.
I had an acquaintance who's ex was murdered a few years ago. After knowing the inside story, then seeing how the media distorted and sensationalised the facts, I don't trust anything I see in the media any more :-? It's only gotten worse with the transition to web based news. They are so desperate to generate site visits for ad revenue that they sensationalise everything now.
RadioNZ is one of the few impartial web news sites, IMHO.
Having said all that, you were fortunate not to be badly injured, or worse

AVG might be easy, but it's got rubbish detection rates. MSE is much better, IMHO

I just had another look at how caved in the roof is - pretty amazing you walked (crawled) away!
Did you get your gumboot back?
-
Wow, sorry to see you banged-up, I hope you're not too sore
Looks like a lucky escape
At least it was just a rental!

Crikey! I can imagine my satnav having a fit
GPS "Take third exit on forth roundabout"
Me "Which exit on which roundabout?"
GPS "Recalculating... Take forth exit on second roundabout"
Me "Forth exit on...damnit, that was the second one"
GPS "Recalculating... Take forth exit on second roundabout"
Me "But I was just on the second roundabout..."
GPS "Recalculating... take third exit on forth roundabout"
Me "What? You said that at the start! Screw you, stupid computer - I never really liked Swinden anyway!"
Best external filter for a 600L tank

I don't think you read the question properly :facepalm:
