Looks interesting, but will have restriction on some tanks with euro bracing.

Depends how big your euro bracing, cuz mine fits. The gap is 6.5cm apart

Hope u might enlighten me.. how would the aqua lifter work to help controlling micro bubbles in the tank?

read the description of the aqualifter in one of the webbies but stil catch no ball

it will suck out the air in the overflow box so that the vaccum can maintain the same in the box

ohh.. so u are saying the aqua lifter will be connected to the blue tube seen at the top of the overflow box??

it is used to suck out the air caused by microbubbles that is trapped at the top of the box am i right??

if the aqualifter is used to do the above.. y not just connect the tube to the venturi inlet of any pump, ie the seio820 which would work the same way?

Any bros out there have any opinions bout this?

This is a product that is overpriced...

If I have not remember wrongly, it cost some 200SGD. So if you have a small tank, please it will become senseless to buy it, make another tank with overflow/surface skimming may even be cheaper.

Unless you want to save the hassle then buy loh. But it is more worthwhile consider the cost effectiveness to change the tank on a long run, save much mainetnance on the long run too.

please...its in the mid 100's or lesser
