I didn’t see the one that’s there now. It looks quite good but how is it in terms of the filter?It just occurred to me that in post #119 I put the wrong link in, so I edited my post to change it to the right link. Which link did you look at?
I have got the “30” size in that range of tanks, but it only holds 25 ltrs. The worry I had with the filter was that it said to change the cartridge every month. The cartridge was a sealed unit and I knew enough about cycling to know if I threw that away every month I’d be throwing away the beneficial bacteria, as I’d already got the tank I used a knife to prize the filter housing off of the inside of the tank and now have an Eheim filter that I can wash the sponges with.I think @NannaLou has one of those tanks, she'll be able to tell you better about the filter.
The filter is good. It has carbon but it is not removable as it is part of the sponge, so you would need to put in a different sponge if you wanted to remove the carbon. My only concern, and I don't know if it applies to the smaller tanks, is that it is over powered and wouldn't suit a betta. But it might be possible to negotiate the next filter down at the shop.I think we need @NannaLou and @Sunnyspots to talk about the filter. I think NannaLou's is one of the smaller versions, while Sunnyspots has a larger version.
I’m not at home at the moment, but mine is the smallest Eheim, keeps the water lovely on the lowest setting (I have one male Betta). I’d highly recommend the Eheim heaters and filters.I think we need @NannaLou and @Sunnyspots to talk about the filter.
