yes, you can use that position if you wish to introduce more oxygen into the water. Thanks for pointing out that I could have added this information at the end.

Not always. If it's oxygen rich water (like in a lot of the UK), you don't want a lot of movement on the surface otherwise the co2 will gas off and plants will grow slower.

Hi I'm debating to buy this filter for my koi fry fish tank. Looks a good shout. My tanks not a Juewl. So am I best siliconing this to the tank to stop the filter moving? Thanks

Definitely fix it and close the gaps because it is known that fish can get trapped behind. Which happened to small fish I started with.

@SmartGadgetShow2 жыл бұрын
Monthly should be fine. Rinse the filters and bio, change the fine polish filter once it's not fit for purpose. Since these can easily lifted out easily means it's a lot less hassle. And thanks but I've done better lol but I've also seen worse

Hi guys, brilliant video. Watch pond guru pimp my filter as he has advised to use biohome. I am actually stopping from external to this one as I prefer the ease of maintenance. Put a Resin pad on top to reduce all nitrates. And bulk foam and cut to your own measurements guts

I have been given a Juwel filter - well, parts of! It is missing the pump, external nozzle and lid. How do I know which model/ size it is i.e. which size pump, nozzle and lid to buy? It is 500mm tall. Has two baskets (with a basket of "little pebbles: between them and loads of sponges etc.) It needs the lid, the pump and the nozzle. I have several different filters I currently use (I was given lots of stuff) all of which I clean regularly but as I have the basis of the Juwel Bioflow I am wondering if i should invest in the pump, nozzle and lid?

I've mainly gone with the Fluval internal rage for that size tank. Although Interpet upgraded their range to include some Bio ring media. You can aim the flow at the glass to slow it down. I recall a filter that has flow control but not sure which and might have been for bigger tanks.

Hi, can anybody tell me why my filter area is not filling up with water. I have cleaned all the filter sponges. If i take all the sponges out , it fills up. Its as if all the filter sponges are being sucked to the bottom? Help please.
@SmartGadgetShow Жыл бұрын
The tank water level needs to be high enough to overflow into the cut outs on the side. And yes the sponges are fine going to the bottom. Maybe something you did differently that gave the odd outcome.
