I have two Oase thermo 600's and I found there is a design flaw, the pre-filter down tube has too few holes to suck up water. So I took a drill and added four times more holes in the down tube, and I changed my 60ppi (black) sponges out and replaced them with orange sponges (30ppi) and the filters no longer burp and even pump out more flow than before.

I've been using the 250 in a 60p and agree with your findings. With the constant burping I find tilting it in all directions after any maintenance to the filter helps. If any of the hoses are touching the cabinet it can cause an annoying noise. Hope that helps anyone:)

I got this filter (600) for two years now and I still think it's great. For the gurgling sound, the solution is to seal the prefilter with petroleum jelly for aquarium seals. Also, after cleaning the pre-filter, pump by hand a few times, and after activating the filter, run it for a moment at half flow until all air bubbles have fallen out. sometimes it is also worth tilting the filter in different directions for a moment. p.s. when you measure the volume level in a cabinet, it increases because the cabinet is a resonance box.

I appreciate your informative videos. I have used the Biomaster 350 for 2 years. To remove the pre-filter from a short cabinet, tilt the top of filter towards you rather than pull entire filter out. Also, in my experience the bubble burps are primarily cavitation effect. To reduce or eliminate the burping, I reduced the output flow,. I understand that may not work for you as you find the flow is already to0 low, but it worked for my situation.

Have a 350: pretty noisy at the begining, now it's silent comparing with the cost or Eheim models. 250 and 350 don't have problem with bubbles, but once they're cleaned the prefilter/filter they need hours to expel air bubbles. For example, I also have an Eheim Pro 4 and only needs 2-3 minutes to be free of bubbles. I don't think oxigen and CO2 amount could cause burping, it's the design of the very filter that produces that burping, because my Eheim doesn't make that effect Flow: 1150 litres vs 400 l in real life Thus: flow is a bit dissapointing, but the quality and the lack of noise made this filter one of the best choice Regards of the markwt

De pomp capaciteit is ver onder de maat, ook al via een Duitse KZbin filmpje geconstateerd. Hier werd de 600 met verschillende media inhoud getest en was de capaciteit rond de 60% van de door Oase gegeven capaciteit. Zo'n grote verschillen mogen er NIET zijn. Betreft het filter materiaal, dit kan veel beter dan met de meegeleverde sponzen, zie een Engelse KZbin filmpje over de filteropbouw met poreuze media/gesteente. Beter voor de bacterie opbouw.

The FX6 has more power, but... Honestly for no use The pre filter is nice and even main cleaning is faster and more easy on the Biomaster than the FX6. Also the Biomaster takes more biomass. I'm not looking back.

Interesting review thank you. As one of the other comments stated you can drill another 20 holes in the prefilter pipe to increase the flow. Alternatively and even better, replace the tube completely with a bigger white 21.5mm overflow pipe from a DIY store and drill 40 holes in it. It will fit over the connector rather than inside it. The foam rings will still fit.

In setting up my first aquascape - still a work in progress - I originally considered this filter but after looking at various reviews particularly the reviews on Pimp my Filter - I opted for the Aquael Ultramax 2000. It has a prefilter and in my view a greater capacity for filter media, it also has a much better flow rate without the need for the considerable modifications suggested in the Pimp my Filter review. Admittedly it lacks the internal heater which would be a great addition but my main requirement for a filter is it's ability to filter - so for now I'll live with this little irritation.....

But like you say, the safety mechanism makes this impossible. For whatever reason, I managed to open the pre-filter on its own once ages ago, but it must have been by brute force. So I added it to the ideas list thinking it'd be a good piece of advice to share. When replicating the "problem" for the video, I realised that of course Oase had thought of this!

You should have measured the flow when the output was on the same level as your aquarium water line...with this setup, even when unpowered you would get a considerable water flow. You can also raise the flow by raising the height of the filter, however impractical that might be. Now what i would want to see is more information on that co2 reactor ;p

Regarding flow, would be interesting to check the flow rate w/o the inline diffuser vs empty without media material. And with respect to the length of the prefilter it’s actually the same length as the biomaster 600, and so conversely I was expecting it to be one level longer for added pre-filtration capacity. This means there’s empty space below between the prefilter and the bottom of the biomaster which is just empty. Your points about it being hard to remove the prefilter when inside a tank stand is real and I have to keep mine outside of the stand as a result. Great review! 👍

I've the filter running for a while, and it's doing a great job at keeping the tank stable. Unfortunately there's one glaring design flaws, that, had I known those in advance, I had not bought this filter. - Connecting the hoses to the filter. Rather than tightening the hose onto the filter, you tighten the filter onto the hose. The same is for the connection on the intake and spray bar. This crappy construction has had already the spectacular result that the connection to the filter failed, and the tank was emptying at a rate of 40l/min (the filter is under the tank). - Air in the filter. You only get rid of it by shaking. Why not take the extra effort and solve that like Fluval did? It makes little sense to have a silent engine if getting rid of the air is not possibe - Priming. Solid engineering, but it just does not do the job - Heater: too small. It keeps the tank on temperature, but doing water changes with cold water (you don't want bacteria from the boiler entering the tank) it does not get the temperature up quick enough, even with a rate as low as 16l/m (the water get's out via the spray bar). Result: 8 dead red nosed tetra. I will do it even slower next time, or buy an extra in-line heater (probably the last) Had I bought the filter for half price? No; the main reason being the first issue, connecting the filter to the hose

I sit my Biomaster 600 on a smooth bottom tray in the cabinet and simply slide the tray forward to remove the pre-filter. You must have a low bioload/stocking density to get away with cleaning your pre-filter only once a month - though I do notice you have the course 30ppi pre-filter sponges. I have to clean my pre-filter every 7-10days or the flow drops off considerably, but I am using the finer blue 45ppi sponges. I run my filter on a 200 litre heavily stocked community planted tank. If after 6 months when I give the main filter a clean it looks like it doesn't need a clean, then I may switch to the courser 30ppi pre-filter sponges and hope I can reduce the frequency of my pre-filter cleans down to fortnightly.
@migueleespinosa26322 жыл бұрын
It may be more cleaning intervals, but think of the dirt you are removing from the tank! The other sponges are participating in bioactivity. If it doesn't look like it needs a clean then you can extend the major cleaning a few more month. I would replace the other foams with bio media and be confident it would be effectively working because of the pre filter. I would add a medium foam at the intake to balance the mechanical service.

49db is LOUD - my Biomaster 600 is about 30% louder than my Fluval 07.

The pre filter is a great idea, but needs a different design. Maybe horizontal or diagonally placed?

Great video again! I have the 250T, 350T and the 600T (also JBL and Eheim filters). The flow is a bit lower than that of the Eheim and JBL filters, but can be improved by drilling extra holes in the intake tuber inside the pre-filter. Also I think that in your case you are losing some flow with the reactor. I don’t have the Burping issue in mine, with the exception of the tabk where I am using the Neo-Flow lily pipes. The integrated skimmer is pulling in air every now and then. I absolutely love these filters because of the integrated heater and pe-filter. I also suffer from lack of cabinet space to lift the pre-filter out, but I lean my filter over towards me to lift the pre-filter instead of taking the filter out. I spill a bit of water doing so, but its managebleable.

Hi MJ. Please advise if I can use a co2 reactor to my biomaster 850 ? Will I experience reduced water flow and if that is okay ?

Hi, I don't think bubbles coming out from outflow are not normal, I don't have it but i'm not an owner of OASE Biomaster. Apart of that good work.

Hi MJ. I am planning on a setup of a 55 gallon tank (or possibly larger). I have been researching canister filters with heater option. Your review came at a perfect time. Your info is always so helpful and appreciated greatly. Thanks a lot and have a great week. 🏄🏼♂️ (surfs up- can you tell I am in Southern California?)

Hi there, you are doing great videos! I had same problem “ burping “ with different canister filter. Try to tilt slightly the filter when it’s running to all directions. That way will release all air that is trapped In different places.I am doing it every time when I need to clean up the filter as I am getting air farts in the tank! Did work for me hopefully will work for you as well:) Let me know if you try it

MJ I used to also have an Oase Bio Master Thermal and I also suffered from issues with noise, I actually remember speaking to you about it at the time in comments when you first got yours, and telling you how mine was not making any noise at all, that mine the biomaster 350 was actually in my bedroom and not inside a cabinet, yet was so quiet sometimes I would have to check it was still working, however it did not last long and like a lot of others I'd found after turning off the filter for cleaning the filter would be hell to listen too! Which had only gotten worse after having my ears professionally cleaned! I realised the bio master wasn't at all as quiet as I'd initially thought & in fact it was so loud after that it really had to go. Since then I've been using my back up filter an internal Fluval U3. My question is you replaced yours with another external filter which looks gorgeous but what is it actually like with the DB levels is it quite enough for a bedroom outside of a cupboard? Or do you know or anyone else who's reading this comment happens to know of a good external (not necessarily with a built in heater) filter I could replace my temporary Fluval with? My aquarium is 90*40*45cm approx 90lit I'd want something with a 10x capacity turn over so something equivalent to the biomaster 350.

Seems like the measured flow rate is similar between all models. Would be tough to justify the expense of an 850 vs a 350 or 600 based on that.

Sponges of pre-filter or filter are cleaning with aquarium water, not tap water. The Polish aquael ultramax filter is quieter. The temperature in the aquarium should not be raised so quickly, it is harmful to the fish.

Hi, with a actual flow rate of 600l per hour it could used for tanks less than 200l per hour, better to go for fluvale fx6

Great video! I own the biomaster thermo 600 same issue with the burping sound every once in a while. However doesnt the air mess up the Co2 reactor?
@MJAquascaping2 жыл бұрын
A little bit, but because the burps happen mostly at the end of the day it's okay.

I have a 20 gallons tank and I bought the Oase filtro smart 100 but the flow is very slow, almost no flow in the tank. I have no fish yet but I’m getting the fish in a few weeks. Any ideas on how to increase the flow? I turn it up to the max but it still very slow.

Hi mate, I had the 600 and the pump is so noisy that I had to get back to my Aquael, I think that oase should work on this because all the other filter I had (Jbl, oase and eheim) were much more quieter…too bad because all the others features are very cool!

As a matter of fact, have you been able to measure the electrical consumption of the filter and if it is close to the electrical consumption indicated by the manufacturer? Thank you. All the best.

Since you also have worked with the JBL Profi filters, it would be good to hear from you about whether the Oase cylinder pre-filter is more or less awkward to clean than the JBL top basket.
