Eheim Cannister Filter

[JustinK]

Hi,

Am currently using a Juwel Tank with its custom filter, am thinking of upgrading to an Eheim Cannister filter, but got so many models to choose from, wonder if anyone can recommend me a specific model that is at a pretty reasonable price? Tank size is 2 feet... Thanks!

the eheim pro has one that's for 2 feet for around $150. Of course this is the one without priming. But good this is there are containers to put the medias.

Of course if you want to pay more, you could get those with priming but usually more that $200+.

Hi JustinK,

r u using a Juwel Rekord series tank???

[lightningstrike]

the 2026 cost ard 238. no priming needed.

Get the Eheim ECCO. No "######" needed and affordable too. In operational temrs, it's like a cross between the professionals model and their basic models, likewise in terms of price.

The Eheim ECCO makes priming easy by lever action, and the lever also acts as a handle for you to carry from your cabinet to the bathroom... Funny thing is, when you ask for it in shops, they don't even know about this model! I've used this model for my previous 2-feet tank for a year with absolutely no problems - of course a sump is even better lah.

Go check the eheim website for more info on the ECCO.

I heard from a LFS owner that the Ecco is more for planted aquariums.

Really meh?? OH no..

anyway, there is no difference in terms of the filtration mechanism - pump, substrate, wool, compartments - the usual stuff.
