New Corner Matten Filters

[JasonsPlecosCichlids]

Would you say this set up uses lets electricity than a traditional canister/hob set up ?

A lot less, just one pump for three tanks vs 2-3 canisters per tank.

Cant you take a pic of what it looks like behind the foam from the side of the tank.

I wished you told me this earlier would have picked them up for you. I saw them at one of the vendors booth.

Interesting idea. I hate cleaning my canisters.

I just thought about it, and you know how I like to experiment with filtration. Thanks though.

Anyone else make the switch yet?

Soon. Got everything just need to find time now

Do your Jetlifters sit flat in the tank bottom or does the foam hold them in place?

Is this for your 180g? If so can you please post a parts list so that I'll know what to order for mine?

The Jetlifters need to sit about 1" above the bottom of the tank or higher if you want. Yes the foam will hold them in place.

I just used a kitchen knife to slice the Poret at the top to fit the Jetlifter pipe for a snug fit but if you are using a corner filter design, you may have to remove a bit of the foam material to accommodate the pipe diameter.

All my Jetlifters are at the top of the foam, flush with the foam.
