HummingBird Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I've only used a few internals before but I've found the old style Eheims to be great. They're almost twice the price of that one though :-? Maybe a bit of overkill for some secondary filtration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetom Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I was condsering getting one and running it in a 250L cichlid tank with a 200-500Lph sponge filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I use internal filters. In larger tanks they are good to add circulation, when used with cannisters, sumps..... I use these on there own or conjunction with hang on filters in smaller tanks. Try & find internals that come with coarse foam rather than the finer mesh...(better to grow bacteria on & won't clog up as quick.) I use Sonpar's, they have seperate compartments, I have foam in a couple of compartments & one with matrix or some other filter/bacteria growing type substance. Looking at the pic on Trademe, the only difference to the sonpars is the power head & packaging. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
