is this useable with swiftech 6002 + bix?.. the specs looks stronger than my ehiem 1048.. although i've yet to go into watercooling.. all my watercooling stuff are laying around my house for 1month plus already :bang head lazy to set up atm..

anyway if this is a better option i might go for this instead of the 1048

That will work awsome for your fish tank.

Stick to the 1048 for the WCing.

BTW :welcome: to the OC forums

I second the motion.

That filter business is not necessary at all and just adds unwanted restriction. Now maybe if you had some hot-blooded fish in your loop...

[ribuck97]

If you removed all of the filter media, what would add the restrictions? Has anyone ever tried using one of these before?

[DeanMartin]

@_@ so this is a no no?..

and yeah i will remove the filter if im using it... the filter is removable..

But why? Are you getting it for free? btw, how much are they anyway?
