lilviss Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 https://www.aquariumproducts.com.au/catalogue_products.php?prodID=6125 Is it something seperate you connect hoses to and from, or just something you put over the in tube to stop fish and large particles being sucked up?

flatfish Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 You replace the strainer with it and it stops small fry and shrimp and whatnot from being sucked into the filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilviss Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I just thought it might be something more complicated for $40 Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfish Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 You would think everything with eheim would be more complicated for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilviss Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Found one on ebay for $20, considering getting it, though i do have a stainless steel one coming from hong kong for $2 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfish Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Not bad price I still wonder if they worth buying. Bigger chance of that small pre filter getting clogged than the main filter pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilviss Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I've heard a couple people say they wouldnt run one a canister without it for the amount of s**t it pulls out But it has to be rinsed like every 5 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 They are very good at what they do, and easy to work with. Good if you want shrimp in your display tank. In a pinch though, a block of foam with a hole cut in it can stop fry getting sucked in......... but it aint exactly something you would put in a display!
