can someone PLEASE help me?! (and my first post here)
so, i have to get an external filter eheim 2080 or FX5.
i want get the eheim, only that an email from eheim support service told me that the maximum allowed distance between the water level and the top edge of the intaking pipe shouldn't be more than 10 cm.(for fx5 is 20cm)
my problem is that i will have turtles in the aquarium (180x60x60) and i just cannot have the water level less than 15 cm.
they've told me that the selfprimig system will not work correctly. I was wondering, ‘cause when the water is already in the fuse, by a simple fluids’ dynamic it will continue flowing, with absolutelly no effort from the filter.
does anyone have any ideas what risks exactlely might I face if I will increse the distance to 15-16 cm?
thanks alot for your help,
