    Hi.

    i'm having trouble with the current filter in my tank, it came with the tank model hailea rp400, the flow is way to fast for my betta.
    i have done everything to try and reduce the flow, it is on minimum flow and still creating a very strong current.

    i only have a 60l tank, so was looking at the eheim aqua corner 60 - any idea where i'll be able to find this model?

    thank you.

    Any LFS that uses DARO as a supplier will be able to order it for you. I know of a LFS that stocks Eheim here in Centurion, but I see you in Jozi

    I have 4 small betta tank and have been trying all kinds of filters from hob to internal filters. All of them generate too much stream.

    Now I am running normal air driven box filters in the corner. Although they have very low flow, the bubbles cause huge turbulence on the surface that even makes me nauceous.

    These eheim fitlers look amazing! I will keep an eye out for them as well. Plus I like that you can fit a light on them. Thanks for the info.

    You are having a potential water quality issue in your tank.
    A more powerful filter is needed, not a less powerful one.

    Perhaps you could point the outlet in such a way that leaves a still area for the Betta.
