Fluval 105

[Joshwainwright]

Hey,

I am considering buying the fuval 105 from pets at home for £79.99

http/www.petsathome.com/shop/external-filter-by-fluval-25650

• There are a few questions I would like to ask:
• - Would this product from pets at home come with pipes and media?
• - Would this filter be too much for a 80L tank?
• - Is £79.99 a decent price?

I look forward to your response.
Thanks,
Josh.

£50.45 + post and packaging here http/www.onlineaquariumstore.com/acatalog/Hagen_Fluval_105_External_Filter.html

Just do a google shopping search for Fluval 105 also if you're ever going to size up the tank then it might be worth going for the 205.

Wow, does that come with pipes and media aswell?

The 205 is available here for not much more http/www.cascadebitz.com/Aquarium-Filters-External/Fluval-205-Canister-Filter-p-525.html

Yes it should come with pipes and starter media.

I may get the 205 then, seeing as it isn't hugely different in price

I may buy this some time today, Although it isn't the cheapest online, I like to use Ebay and it would be here swiftly.

~Thanks for your help.

The 105 has a max tank size rating of 100 litres. The 205 200 litres. So if planning on upgrading the 205 would be better.

For it to come without pipes and media the store would have to open the box, take bits out, take media out of the filter and then repackage. So no matter where you get it from you'll get the pipes and media.

Although I've heard a few bad things about this series of filters, my 205 has been great so far.

I've changed my mind once again lol, I'm now going to buy the filter from pets at home today as one of my fishes died last night, meaning if I wait a week to save £20 I may end up spending a lot more than £20 on fish...
