Recommend a 60p canister filter

[TexasCichlid]

Flow test was with everything attached inline. I will try it without but will be a bit. I will also try it with my cerges reactor I am building and see if there is an improvement there.

Do you notice an increase in noise throttling back your 2075s? That would be my primary concern.

No, no perceptible increase in noise at all. The flow control is just a simple ball-valve - by moving the lever you are decreasing the diameter of the outflow.

Here is another idea: all baskets have a short pipe in one corner. Each pipe should have a black rubber "washer" on top. If any of the 3 is missing or is badly cracked/worn the flow inside the can will be disrupted. I had to replace mine after ~ 10 years. They are ~$6 for 3.

My wife just ordered me the 2075 for my birthday. She's happy and I am happy. Thanks for the help OVT. I will try and diagnose the 2028 after the new filter arrives.

I check those gaskets and wipe them down when I clean. All are in good shape. I also check that plastic part that comes off the head unit and inserts into the trays. No cracks there either.

You are welcome.

It's so happens that my birthday is coming up. Would it be too much of an imposition to borrow your wife? I promise I'll give her back

Happy Birthday!
You will love the upgrade for sure.

Im getting a 2215 for mine

I use a 2217 on my 60-P. Goes through a Hydor ETH and then out through an ADA lily pipe. The 2217 in this arrangement gives my tank way too much flow. I'm about to downgrade to a 2215.

Too much flow thought a lily pipe? Really? How so? Are the fish upset?

The fish are constantly having to swim "upstream" and it blows my scape around way too much uprooting things. I like some flow, but this is just over doign it.

Don't blame you there, nothing worse than your scape getting messed up by flow.

I use 2x 2217 with submerged spray bars on my 75-P and have no issues which was why I was curious. I also have 2x 6025 Tunze circulation pumps.
