External Filter Help

[liamsmith15]

I'm sure this has been covered multiple time, and I'm sure it will be covered a million times more. Lol.

But I'm looking to upgrade my filter. Running a fluval roma 200, with a u4 filter. While this does a great job, it's a bit unsightly. And just in the way. I also like the idea of an online heater.

I'm looking at the following.
Superfish aqua-pro 200 which is £45 online and
Fluval 206 which is £79 from my lfs.

Has anyone any advice on them? What you would recommend or use yourself.

Thanks

Liam

I own the same tank as you, Go to any fishkeeper/maidenhead store and pick up a aqua manta filter.
 
Great LPH and solid filters. They only sell them in stores, I own there 1000U filter and it's a really great canister.

I also have the same tank and the fluval 206 does a great job.

I did see that one in Maidenhead I think. Can't remember how much it was tho. How much will I need to butcher the lid to make it fit?

I would think a fluval 206 is a little to underfiltered for a 200 litre tank...although specified for that size of tank once media is included the lph drops.

I have just gone from a aquamanta efx300 to a tetraec ex1200 and my tank is only 180 litre

Ps the roma 125 i had when i bought the aquamanta and a few cuts to the lid and job done easy as...
