    Hi, would it be suitable for a 300liter tank, if so what would youwant for it. I picked up a pan plexx online for R600 used.

    Hi @donovan@1844.co.za

    noting the DIY tone of your other thread on your tank build I thought you mite be interested in this DIY canister filter.

    This is one of my favourite DIY video that Joey made, it’s really a cost saver of epic proportions if you take into account the price of the same size filter in your LFS, all you have to make sure of is the right power head or pump that will give you the desired L/Per hour if you are wanting to put the unit underneath your tank due to gravity. Just check the head height of the pump on the box of how high it can pump and at what speed that height the pump can handle you will find that the higher the water level the less water it can pump.

    Regards

    Jason

    Hi Ryno, How much would you want for it? Would it be fine for 300 liter tank, wouldn't it be overkill for Discus and plants in terms of flow?

    You can change the flow rate of most canister filters via valves near the filter head.

    Hi there what do you want for the filter. I'll be on my way to collect another one this evening but would prefer the 2228.

    Hi Ryno. Is it in good nick, what does it come with? Would you accept R1,100 for it if it's got all the bits and pieces?
