For those with side IOUS and sump system, this would be perfect for the Overflow compt.

Thanks.
this eZ filter's pump is 15watts at 600l/hr. Fluval Fx5 is 50watts at 2300l/hr.
i only started using it yesterday. running for a day so far, so far so good. loving it actually. But do note that the 4 suction cups behind is not strong enough to hold the filter filled with media, best to let it rest on the tank floor.

Welcome bro, as above, 15watts. its substrate pro but as i've been using them in my tank for more than 2 years already, the color turned very dark.

aunty refers to c328? i was at c328 but cant find leh, so end up getting from polyart, they were kind enough to let me open the package (sealed inside a plastic pack) to let me see how much media it can hold.

i placed 1 wool each at the top of the filter, both left and right, just right below the pump. i guess i will take out the media to wash with tank water monthly, 10 mins job only compared to a canister filter.

its either you put wool at the bottom (which u still have to dismantle frequently to wash/change wool or just pack it full with media den wash media frequently.. at the top where the pump is located, theres where i put my 100ml seachem purigen with a filter bag. fully packed.

me no budget for biohome, if not should be able to fill 1.5-2kg of biohome..

nice review,bro.
but for the bigger model, 600l/hr pump seems like not strong enough to be used in a 120mm(4ft) tank.
a pump rate of 900l/hr might be better, imho.
if i were to buy that model, i would source for a bigger pump that will fit into the filter.
