Is there anyone with any spare parts for an eheim 250 professional filter. I'm looking for a. Locking clamp for the inlet and outlet hoses, or the hose connector if anyone has a spare or unused one they are willing to sell.

Thanks

I will preface this by saying that I really shouldn't be doing this review, and by way of explanation I'll post the following two pictures side by side:

I’ve tried two of these and they both leak.
I’m using after market Lilly pipes which result in almost no resistance so I don’t know if it’s a pressure thing..

anyone have any ideas before I get a refund and live without a canister for weeks ?]]> 1 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 16:06:52 +0000 https://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/threads/need-sobo-sf-1500f-uv-impeller.36826/ https://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/threads/need-sobo-sf-1500f-uv-impeller.36826/ invalid@example.com (Thys_171) Thys_171

I have been looking to get a proper Co2 setup installed (tank, Regulator, Diffuser, CO2 Indicator) for a 30l tank.
But damn these things are expensive!

From what I could find the minimum spend will be R3,5k+, closer to 4K side.
Currently using Denerle Co2 bottles, the ones you mix yourself, but these things barely last the advertised 40 days, and are just a sink cost.
Would love to get sorted on a CO2 setup, but its difficult to pay that all in one shot.

So, everyone,...
