Re: [GSAS-Member] InLine Heaters and Eheim Tube sizes

Shango,
              The Eheim you got,  200 watter is it..  which for that 
capacity filter  shouldn't be a problem.(2234).   If your stepping up to a 
large tank,  (can't remember the ratings) then the larger filters with the 
5/8 hosing and the 300 watter is going to work for that..

That is even more odd. Maybe the sizes are so close they just write them in
American measurements to sell here.  All the sites I have found use English
measurements.

Shango:

The Eheim is a metric size.
