Only 5 Watt power consumption at a pump output of 600 l. Just have to find out which one does the job best for you.Īnd that by and large comes down to which of the 3 things is the greatest priority to you.EHEIM ecco pro offers you an extraordinary combination of energy economy, performance and convenience. So many filters to choose from, and each one has its place. Where as a larger cannister is always better as you get longer between cleaning them. And you squeeze sponge filters out a lot lol I dont go any larger than the $15 one just because after that point they get harder to squeeze out. go small ones and hide them with ornaments/hardscape. If the fact they are ugly doesnt worry you. The problem with internal air powered sponge filters is that they are ugly, and this is a problem that increases exponentially with their size. then you can get away with laughably small amount of biofiltration. How much food is going into the aquarium at each feeding?īecause if you are only feeding a 10,000 litre pond a pinch of food a day. Once cycled they can convert the ammonia generated from a double handful of spectrum pellets into nitrates.Īnd thats the meat of the thing.
To put it in perspective, I have used these $15 onesĪs the sole filter on a 1000L IBC with over a 1000 4cm fish in it. because in the end it all comes down to stocking density. Yea I have never been a fan of putting how many litres a sponge filter can do. I know the flow rates are there to see from suppliers but i trust peoples experiences and opinions rather than packaging/marketing. Will the canister and aquaball be enough?Īnd suggestions whether i should go Planted Tropical, Australian Native or Lake Malawi set up considering this filtration? I would love to make this tank into an upgrade of my 4ft planted tropical tank but im not sure the filters i want to use will be efficient enough for that volume with fish let alone plants as well. Have to mention as well that i always stick with eheim due to the long life of my classics and the power consumption being so low.Įheim Canister (1250Lt/hr) $440 with media (16W)Īs well as an eheim aquaball i already have that does 650Lt/hr (6W)Īnd/or an eheim pick up 2008 i also have handy I think does around 160Lt/hr Recently purchased a 6ft / 670Lt Tank which is going to be a bit of a project over the next couple of months but am wondering if my filter choice will be efficient enough.
