da heck is happening to all planted tank kakis? almost 12hours no one post something........

hahaha just finish experementing 2 Eheim Classic 2217 with parallel connection

all running A OK will monitor for this few days with update...

now me 4ft aquarium got only 1 inlet and 1 outlet...

I am a filter guy. I always prefer “over-filtration” – if there is such term. In most of my tanks (3ft tanks), I run with 2 filters for a few reasons:

To ensure better water circulation with multiple inlets and outlets, especially in a densely planted tank.
2 filters = more filter media = more effective filtration. I believe that getting 2 medium size filters is more effective than getting 1 bigger size filter because the volume of filter media in 2 filters is more likely bigger than 1 big filter.
I can take turns to wash my filter to make sure minimum bacteria lost.

not really... just cannot afford 2 lily pipe hahahaha

never mind about the equipment in your tank, all of our tanks (even for contest) have equipment every where, but we take them out when we take photo, if we have to hide our equipment, then it restrict the layout arrangement a great deal.
for a really nice tank, you will notice that people will not care about the equipment that is visible...they will only be looking at the beautiful tank.

+1 !
100% agree.
Lily pipe are for those ppl that already brought COMPLETE system. Lily pipe can say its a luxury instead of basic equipment for a planted tank. ppl wont care much about the ugly green bar, as long as your layout is fascinating 

problem is I have 1 set of lily pipe 17mm if mix with eheim ori pipe it defeat the purpose of getting the lily pipe... so poor man style use a Y connector to connect 2 canister filter and 1 lily pipe output / same with input so far so good

I have read the forum from various place... no problem only problem if you connect serial this is where when 1 canister overload the impeller... if parallel connection both have equal water running through so it is OK... parallel is the preferred choice even other forum they do it for more than 5 years no issue reported...

also I have monitor both output and see any stress from the unit so far seems like the canister is OK no weird sound what so ever...
