Hi guys what do you think eheim 2213/2215 on 19in x 10in x 10in (30l)
tank will be a result of tsunami for my fishes? Will not be heavily planted occupants will be 4 ropefish n plecos at this point of time.

This model dosent comes with setup instruction, those who had could you guide me along on stepbystep connection, 2213 only comes with foam n pad what else should I get besides 2 doubletaps and what substrate would you recommend, Im using it as a biological tank thks.

Hi! The double taps can be used to adjust the strength of the water flowing in your set up and this can prevent your 'tsunami' scenario. Hope this helps

Some ppl use ceramic rings as one of the substrates. I used that filter before and it indeed can cause a turbulence if the pressure is great. Hence, instead of using rainbar (output with fine holes), try disconnecting the rainbar and let the water gushes out on the water surface.

i am too using a eheim 2213. i changed the outlet to lily pipe as it reduce alot for the water running out...it will create a wave like flow out which is not strong.hope its helps.

Ye, I am using the Gush mini 13 from Green chapter for my 1ft cube tank with 2213.

How has the Gush 13 lily pipe been working? Does it actually reduce turbulence compared to the rainbar?
