A friend of mine came across this interesting little unit; Easy access media trays, comes with a few output options like a nozzle and a spraybar, its got flow control as well. It appears to be an OEM filter made by a company named Sunsun. Unfortunately that model is not available on the States.
I saw Richard's review on it the other week, and it appears to be a very interesting setup. I know a lot of the pond and aqaurium external canisters, pumps and UV clarifiers from All Pond Solutions are re-branded SunSuns, but I'm not sure about this unit. From what I recall, Pondguru was surprised with it and liked it the filter after he added the usual suspects to it. If it was available here, I would try it out for that price. Looks like a nice filter. Only issue that may come into play is maintenance on it if it is on the back of a tank.
Pretty big to lift over and may be awkward to remove. Being already familiar with setting up external filters I actually skipped reading the instructions but went back a couple of days later and read them just to check. The feed pipe comes with plenty of extenders so it will reach down into even very deep tanks. However for shallow tanks even a single piece of pipework is too long I had to cut down one of the pieces of pipe to make it fit inside the tank.
It would have been nice to have a couple of inch pieces of pipe instead of just the 4x3inch pieces that were in there. Connections to the feeder, spray bar and filter connections are nice and tight with no sign of drips or leaks it feels very very safe. The connection heads for the filter are again nice and sturdy and feed well built unlike some of the more premium brands that feel flimsy despite their price tag.
This was a nice surprise for me as it is a common failing area for many other external filters. Getting parts should you need them is also not a problem as All Pond Solutions do sell a full range of spares. Inside the tub the trays all fit together nicely and the lid fits in securely and tight. The media comes in little little bags which is quite important for the coal to stop it from breaking up and getting into the water however the bag for the ceramic is unnecessary.
The trays and media have nice cut outs in them for the UV light tube to fit down in and through the filter and in general its all well thought out and designed. The spray bar as you would expect takes the return pipe from the filter and back into the tank. Unfortunately — and this could be specific to my tank — the weight of the pipework pulls down heavily on the spray bar so its almost impossible to get the spray bar level and feeling sturdy.
When first piping it up I also had a few issues with it disassembling its self with the weight of the pipe pulling it apart as I was attempting to get it level.
Priming and start up is simply a case of pre-filling the filter with your aquarium water pushing on the primer button times to fill the feed pipe from the tank and then turning it on. The only point to note here is that if its not priming for you then take the skimmer off the input pipe and put your finger over the skimmer feed hole to block it this will make it prime up in 1 or 2 pushes no problems. My only real issue with the whole setup is its flow rate. To test this I filled and timed a 2 litre pop bottle filling from the return pipe.
Filling it took roughly 20 seconds. Which with a bit of maths is 6 Litre per minute per hour. All in a very nice external filter, well designed, sturdy and very quiet in operation. Factoring in its very low price point and its shortcomings suddenly become quite insignificant. For the price of 1 of the better known external filters you could in fact have 2 of these!
Water goes down the shaft and then moves up through the filter layers to the top where the pump sucks it out. Change the soft foam at the top weekly. Just bought the ef. My first external filter. What do you think of the skimmer on it. It seems pretty useless to me.
