Posted	filter 2215
17-02-2008 13:27 by james brown	Hi I have added a eheim 2215 in the 200l tank. Should I keep my internal filter as the tank still seems to be slighty cloudy or does the filter need more than 24hrs to clear the water?? Thanks
17-02-2008 13:58 by nigel.chenapa	how long has the tank been running with the internal filter?. if the tank is mature with the internal filter running then i would leave the internal running and run the 2215 for 3 or 4 weeks till the 2215 is mature, other wise you will be back with a tank with new tank syndrome.
17-02-2008 14:10 by james brown	The tank has been mature for years, I introduced the 2215 yesterday 10.00am to see if it would help. So It will need longer than 24hrs?? Thanks
17-02-2008 14:14 by -Rob C-	It will definately need longer than 24 hours, leave it for aslong as you can that way when the internal is removed there will be little or no change in water quality.
17-02-2008 14:15 by james brown	So I should be able to remove internal someday?
17-02-2008 15:15 by -Rob C-	Yes you will just give it sometime to mature. Like Nigel has said 3-4 weeks would do, but the longer the better really.
17-02-2008 20:51 by robert.pope	if you realy have to remove the internals you would need to put the internal sponges/media into the 2215 filter canister to help seed it! if you can leave everything running as nigel and -rob C- said you should have no problems!
