agree with berber. eheim is one of the best brands around, if you can wait, next week end suntec convention has the annual aquarama coming up.prob can get good prices there.cheers~

and for the chiller, i'm currently doing a DIY chiller for my 10L crs tank.took me 2 weeks and im at the final stage of sealing up the chiller to run a full test on my tank.

Just bought a Eheim 2213. You can get it at Seaview at about $90...

This model should be good enough as I felt that the current is very strong for my 2 feet tank. You will probably have to adjust the rainbar to minimise the water current in your tank..

Good and quiet.

Yes Eheim is one of the best brands around. Eheim 2213 would be good but new price would be above $100, unless you look for 2nd hand ones.

Oh only $90

I am using eheim 2213, running on resun cl-300 chiller. 4yrs already, still doing well. 2213 wont cost more than 2 blue notes.

right now i using max care canister filter.. max flow 360 L/H.. is that ok?
btw, how much L would a 2 feet tank be?

360 too low and i believe your is a very small one not enough media space. better get a bigger one try 700 l/h and above. If you are going thru chiller no harm getting 900 or 1000 l/h if find the too strong just use a rainbar to cut down.

so i should get eheim 2213.. wad is rainbar.. if i juz use eheim 2213 direct, izit ok?
