APS External Tank Filter
Just recieved this today.
Bigger than i thought and the tubes have a mind of there own as there coiled in transit and take abit to get into position.
When assembled you have to fill the canister 3 quarters with tank water and use the button to prime it (IE force water through the intake pipe to the canister before switching on.
So if you have the canister below the tank your going to have to make sure there are no loops or the water will not be forced through the highest point of the loop.
Also the Nylon balls come loose in a tray=Fine, the ceramic noodle looking things come in a netted bag, so release them and spread on the tray, and the carbon also comes in a netted bag,hopefully i have got this bit right as the instructions say nothing but i have just left them in the netted bag and placed on the tray.
The Unit is VERY quiet and when you have water going through the pipes you cant even tell there is anything passing through, if it was not...
Well Pleased
I must say that this filter is great value for money. I keep an 180 litre tank with cichlids in it and this filter keeps my water crystal clear. The water is so clear I could be tempted to drink it (but I dont lol) Well worth investing in if a good clear tank is what your after.
bargain, and not noisy at all
just thought I should leave a review when I saw the 1 star review. had mine up and running now for a good few months in my 240l, no problems so far and for the price a complete steal. very easy to clean. decent flow from the outpipe. as for noise issues I have no problems at all, its in the tank stand cupboard and cannot be heard. 5 stars all the way from me, I'm here because I am buying another one for my nano
please note, be sure to close the stop tap lever when cleaning it/ tinkering with it, twice I've been soaked from forgetting
