Ehiem 2028 impeller fins broke

[r4211z]

Hi Guys,

Due to my clumsy hands, the whole top part of the Ehiem 2028 fell on the impeller which was underneath it, resulting in 2 fins broke.

Questions
(1) Is using 2028 for a 2 x 1 x 1 ft tank overkill ?
(2) The Impeller fins broke, can i still use them, (presently using, no choice)
the flow seems to be slower.

Is 36 watts PL light for 8 hrs enough for APP and Red tiger lotus ?

Thank you for all answers.

you can easily get the replacement from NA, C328 etc.

I dont think 36Watts fr 2ft tank is enough for APP, it will grow but probably upward instead of criping

Please forgive my ignorance I see a lot of NA in this forum where exactly is it?

Thanks!

It is enough. I have 11W on 1ft cube and APP crawling.
What substrate you are using?

Hi Jake,

(1) 2028 for a 2x1x1 is definitely way overkill.
This filter is rated at 1050l/hr output & suitable for tank size up to 600l.
With such a powerful outflow, would your 2 feet turn into a swirl pool ?

Not necessarily, if you have external reactor, chiller, UV and very dense plants. That will reduce the flow considerably

check out the guys at CAU
Their setups are with what is to us way-overfiltration
But no problems for them

You are very right

I do have an external reactor, thus the flow is slowed.
Plus the opening of the output, i use the cage like thing (like the one at the imput) to difuse the flow.
