Good afternoon. The aquarium is approximately 205 liters with dimensions 90/55/45. The inhabitants are from the Black Sea, and the stocking density is probably average (about 10-15 shrimp, 5-7 hermit crabs, 3-4 anemones, 6-8 bottom fish up to 7 cm, live rocks). There will be about 30 kg of substrate and rocks in the aquarium. I think the net water volume will be around 180 liters. The water lift by the filter is about 1.2 meters. Please help me decide on the choice. I am considering two filters: JBL CristalProfi GreenLine e901 and Hydor Prime 30. Why I narrowed it down to these: I limited myself by the dimensions of the filter. I left a width of only 22 cm in the cabinet for the filter. 1. I tend to lean towards the e901, but I worry that it might not be powerful enough. I like its configuration, good reviews, and power consumption. Many recommend the e1501 for this volume, and I would take it, but it won't fit in my cabinet. Is its power really necessary? Maybe the e901 is not that bad and will easily handle this volume? 2. I am interested in the Prime 30, but unfortunately, there is significantly less information about it. However, the opinions are mostly positive. Is it really as powerful as some say (allegedly more powerful than Fluval 306 and JBL e1501)? Has anyone encountered it in reality and possibly done measurements? Please share your thoughts and advice. Maybe there is some alternative to these two. The budget is 700-1200.
