Any glassware will have that issue. Thus far I have never broke a lily pipe set (I have broken a drop checker though). For glassware, make sure you support the pressure points with your hands (all the angles) when handling or cleaning.
upgrading to larger pipes 7/8 def increases flow! I also recommend using only coarse sponges at the bottom. Use two so when you put in all media it will act as a medium sponge when it compresses and will work perfectly! Great video!
Glad you like this canister! It will never fail you. One thing I've discovered is an attachment assembly for the outflow for the Eheim. It allows you to unscrew a "fill tube" at the aquarium output and add water. This auto primes the system. It works and works very well.
@@TankTastic Um I apologize, the attachment assembly is for the input. I was not thinking correctly. I don't think you would go for it because you like the lily pipes. The one I bought is called this: Eheim AEH4004300 Intake Set 494 Canister Filters Parts for Aquarium I bought it from Amazon if you want to have a look.
Use another canister filter as a pre - filter filled with filter pad only and use that SS canister filter filled with filtration media . You only need to do maintenance on the pre-filter , not the main canister filter and leave that alone for months longer !
I would opt for the Biomaster, but for open cabinets, I would go with these. Or I would opt for this ss filter vs an oase for a larger tanks because a oase 600 is huge vertically and this size is more manageable.
@@TankTastic Yes, fair points, it is certainly an attractive looking filter I'll give it that. Plus my Biomaster 600 only just fits in my cabinet and sits on a tray I need to slide out to change the pre-filter. Don't think I'd trade in the ease of maintenance I get with a Biomaster for the maintenance this filter would require though. 5 mins to clean my pre-filter every 10-14 days and then only open and clean the main filter canister once every 6-9 months. That's what I really love about the Biomaster ....
From experience most standard canister filters get noisy over time not helped by using AC pumps. This using a DC pump will be smooth and super quiet. I wish more manufacturers built them better and simpler like these.
If you didn't catch the original review and setup video for this filter, watch it here: ruclips.net/video/vEu3kUqfxWs/видео.html
I ordered same filter yesterday after being indecisive between oase 350 and this .. thank you
Nice, I have both. Oase is def a nice to have and if you never tried it, you should.
@@TankTastic sure I will try oase as well. Any recommendation for lily pipe ? I am worried it may break on me and flood my home ..

Hoping you will be uploading more often now 😄
Def my goal, hurts my soul when I don’t upload.
TANKTASTIC video my friend 👍 thank you for sharing 🌿🐟🌿🙏💝
Haha thank you as always
Great video, I would love to know how many decibels this filter is whilst running? Any chance you could test and post in the comments?
Love the simplicity of the filter, the silence... it's a shame the cost to bring it to Europe. There're chinese copies, but...
Regards
Yea, def some other competitors. The main thing for these is the warranty they put on it, which makes it a bit of a stand out.

Can anyone else see that this filter is no longer available at Amazon?
They are sold out, but new product will be in stock in less than 30 days.
Why would you opt for this over an Oase Biomaster, or an Eheim for that matter, I just don't get it ...!?!?

I agree with that, if ease of maintenance is priority…Oase wins hands down.

There is a better way u do it to prime it with taps n order if ur sticking pipes u cud get tb
I use the suction part of a turkey bastor now
You cleaned the canister and did a water same time. It is not recommended :)
Use thicker pipes man hehe
Skip the floss and add more foam and you can go months without cleaning.
or both! I def got more room for both, this thing is a whole storage room
First
Beat me to it lol
this thing just looks like a noisier eheim classic
