Thermofilters

The 305 arrived today! Didn't realise how big it is!

Installed and working in tandem with the juwel internal setup.Just waiting for the hydor heater. How long should I run the two filters in tandem before switching off the juwel?

With regards to the juice used by internal/external heaters, i've no idea about the juice used (i'd think it'd be minimal though) but the 300w hydor is for 200-300 litre aquariums.

So there are no problems with the ribbed tubes and connecting up the heater to them then? I thought that was what made the 305's a nightmare to get anything "inline" working with them. (I have two 305's in the garage, they are quite small i thought!)
Heater's not arrived yet! ;)

Dont really matter if its arrived yet or not, i through he might have done his research prior to ordering and would be able to reply ;)
 
I've read that some people have issues with the fluval hoses but a little bit of sealer/electrical tape :blink: should do the trick!

Compared to the internal filters that I'm used too, the 305 is a bit of a beast.
 
oh aye double the size, the new externals i got are double the size of the 305's and then some hence i now view the 305's as small :D

I dont think sealant and electrical tape will work very well, maybe some Jubilee Clips might! Let us know how it goes :)
 
After adding in the Hydor that arrived this morning and tightening up the connections I've decided to order some smooth hose! The connectors on the hydor seem to compress the fluval ribs.

Good job I kept the Juwel filter/heater working till the new stuff arrives. Didn't even bother turning the fluval on. :S

It was a joke about the electrical tape btw! In my job we use it to keep stuff working! :good:
 
The green tube arrived today so the filter is up and running again. No leaks so far.

The new stuff doesn't fit the fluval tank connector though. Need to come up with a more elegant solution for the return hose. Its just running into the tank at the moment!
