It provides mechanical, biological and chemical filtration in a compact and virtually silent. Like all external bus filters, it is best if you have a locked cabinet in his stall tank where it can be kept out of sight. The manual leaves something to be desired. The illustrations are small and not always clear which picture goes to education. However, after classifying the different filter elements (coarse and fine filter mats, path of active charcoal, ceramic coarse mechanical filter, biological filter and substrate), is easy to assemble. The filter is supplied with inlet and outlet pipes, valves and quick release for easy cleaning. The filter stack should be mostly removed when replacing the filter pads, but is not complex, nor too long the results speak for themselves: clean water, a stable, prosperous fish. I'm very glad I bought the Eheim. April 4 people found this review helpful. For simpler is better Eriocaulon Classic Series filter housing is my choice for small to medium tanks. No heating element of luxury, ultraviolet sterilization or body fast priming pump separately - and that's a good think. You have an entry that goes to the bottom and an outlet at the top. Prepare to drive properly is the key, then follow the instructions - it is not difficult, especially if the entry is full of water. My unit comes with quick release adapters and media. The separate hose adapters work very well and quickly poured a bucket of water only when highlighted. Can I use this unit in my 58gal freshwater aquarium and clean it every three to six months. CONS: On 2217, there is a large o-ring that seals the border, after a number of years, you will need to replace up to about $ 15 or more. It was possible to seal with silicone grease before it goes to full power. The turbine shaft is ceramic and easy to break. If you do not have to clean the wheel or housing, they're not! Most of the noise is a lack of priming air from the turbine and does not become dirty. impeller, $ 10. Pros: Simple design. very low potential for losses. exceptionally quiet. parts are available, although in general must be ordered online. local mass media. proven durability. other boxes I tried, but I did not like: Rena Filstar XP3 (flight), ProII Eheim 2026 (lost, broken temp / heat pump is primary) 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. It's worth the money, J. Helton I just bought a Eheim filter for my 125 gal. I already had an emperor 400 and a Fluval 404 on the tank, but wanted to replace the Fluval. I was not unimpressed with the filter held Eheim. It is very quiet. I can not even hear it running. The only way to tell it to run on water transportation are met. The only idea in the week, but I can tell already, is a difference. I plan to buy another. The only drawback is that the instructions difficult to follow. Actually, they do not tell you step by step how to hook the filter. I found the following help site, a staged video that is. It is a bit fast you need to pause and repeat. Overall http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/eq...-opinions.html the additional costs for installation, it is worth it. Eheim's filter does not degrade the quality of every other day. Money well spent.
