Harlow... I think it is quite easy to find the specs for this filter right. Just go look for it and decide for yourself. No need ppl to spoonfeed you right?

i know the rate is 500l/h but i just wanna know how efficient is tt in maintaining water clarity

Dennerle, Eheim usually indicate what volume tanks the filters are suited for. Next, clarity depends on your filter media, assuming your filter is not underpowered. You should consider whether output of the filter is too strong for your purposes.

can lah. i even used it for my 2.5 ft tank (120L) and things are OK.

Dennerle... Actually, if you just spend a second or 2 thinking, you would figure that a filter is just a power head pushing water through some filter media...

So what do you think will make the water clearer??? ... do some thinking...

Water clarity is secondary, IMO. But once your tank is establised/cycled it will be clear on its own.
You shld be more concern about how efficient the filter ( -> filter media type?) can purify the water such that the water is safe for the fishes for a long period of time and water change is thus make less frequent.

maybe u shld give more info like what kind are fishes u are keeping, your bioload and how frequent u are willing to water change.

There are hobbyist who keep discus using just simply sponge filter cos they willing to change water very often (some even daily).

Actually if u spend some time reading on filteration, u would not be posting this question.
