I have heard some criticism over my internal Juwel filter and someone else said my flow was no good for a planted tank in one of my videos.
On my other tank, however, I do have a Fluval External filter with the pipes which hang over each end of the tank.
What I don't get is that the flow is rubbish in that tank with the big external filter. What I mean is there appears not as much surface movement even
though on paper the pump has a major through put.
So I am wondering is there really any benefit of switching to an external filter to improve flow?
Today I messed around with some rigid piping to try to "direct" the flow out of the juwel filter so that the water moved it bit faster and had some success with that.
