I would try a google search to try and find some reviews on the filter. You should also be able to find the other informtion you require as well.

i have a 30 and as a filter its very good. the accessories and fittings are cheap and prone to break, but to be fair they a re not to expensive to replace. lol i have no idea what size the pipes are, I've had no reason to look but it looks like 6-8mm internal. not the quietest but, reliable and let down by its bits!

I am running one (20 prime) currently on a 150 litre, its done well, yeah the parts are cheap, the tubing is 16mm internal, 22mm external, the green eheim piping is a good fit. It doesn't come with a spray bar, just a directional nozzle, though a spray bar would be an inexpensive upgrade for it.

Its fairy quiet, not overly though! Its also tends to build up air every now and again, and requires turning on and off a few times to evacuate it.

Hope this helps.
