Posted	External filter
30-11-2006 20:40 by primus	Hi Can I place my filter on the same level as my fish tank as it says that it needs to be below the tank to work . It is a Fluval 305 external filter ?
30-11-2006 20:53 by Danny Boy	if it says it needs to be lower then thats probably for a reason. i think that you may find it would work your way but that you'd be adding eextra load to the motor making the motor pull the water and push it out again. with these things its always best to follow the manufacturers instructions
