Moving Juwel internal filter from right to left side -?

[Inez_]

Hi!

Has anyone moved the internal Juwel filter from the right side (where it's originally installed) to the left side of the tank? In such case the water outlet/flow would be facing the the left front side of the tank. If you have done it - was everything working fine? Anything that should be taken into consideration if doing so?

We have a Juwel Rio 450 l tank.

Thanks for your input in advance!

I think id remove it completely and use an external. I'm surprised they even sell such a large sized tank with an integrated internal

Apparently that internal filter is a bioflow XL with throughput of 1000 l/ph

Ideally the minimum throughput for a tank should be 4 x volume, so for 450l you'd want minimum of 1800 l/ph
