    i saw this for sale at c328. was wondering if it'll work with a 2026. and does it need a double tap connection? i mean those quick release tap couplings.

    detailed specifics

    From the diagrams... I think it's detachable, no need to install double taps. Whats the approximate price?

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    Nice, but there's one thing I dislike... all suction cup plus clips must be in tank.

    Bought mine from Soon Heng last month. There are 2 sets. Installation set 1 and 2, which basically is input and output or I think Eheim calls it suction and pressure. Prices are about S$33 and S$36 before discount. Expect 10 to 15%.

    This installation sets are better for open tanks and preferable, there should be 3 to 4 inches of space between the wall and the back of your tank. If not, it's quite difficult to use (which is why I got rid of my sets). It can be used on any canister filter (and makes priming really easy). Take note that there is 2 sets for different hose size. Don't buy the wrong size.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    so it's supposed to aid in priming? if that's the case then i'll save on the 33 dollars instead and cut my J-tube shorter.

    Ummmm... how does it make priming easier? Can't figure it out from the diagrams.

    If you look carefully, there is a little knob at the top of the installation set. It's a cap. You can unscrew this and pour water in to the filter from here. So no need to suck and swallow tank water.

    Ok... perhaps another idiot question from me...

    what is "priming"? My hydor-10 is self priming filter... I never understood what it meant.

    Priming... the process of filling the inlet and outlet pipes, and filter with water so that it will operate properly when you start the filter.
