A cut-to-fit grid lid kit listed for rimless tanks. Check the openings and the bracket fit for the actual aquarium.
A 100 W adjustable glass heater. EHEIM’s manual chart lists this model for 100–150 L, which includes 120 litres. The manual also requires regular water-temperature checks.
A manual siphon with an Easy Start bulb and thumb flow control. Match the actual box variant before choosing its reach.
A wired probe thermometer with a dry external display. The Amazon extract states ±1 °C accuracy; this has not been independently tested.
A concentrated conditioner for chlorine and chloramine. Measure the new water and follow the full label directions.
We take every product apart using the official manual and parts diagram, the Amazon UK listing and verified buyer reviews. We always list what doesn't work too.
