I think the hoses and canister container are all black.Comes with Installation Parts 1 and 2.

5 years warranty instead of 3 years.Other than that,everything is the same.

Hi May i know where can i find this? Thanks

Spend a few days to finish reading the whole thread and head down to sea view but only see the normal version.

Renesis Turbo , there is a fake plastic lily pipe head attachment sold in the lfs , green in colour . Using that , it will diffuse and slow down the water movement . My previous 3ft tank was using that , so much so that plants were covered with dust on the opposite end due not much water movement . I was using Eheim 2028/2026 back then .

Hi UA, may I know how do you recharge the Purigen? Which kind of bleach do you use for that? I will reduce the top tray next time to put in purigen again.

I am curious which bleach to use. I got the colour bleach.

I think those are limited stocks. No more selling.

You are lookin for the Installation Parts 1 and 2?Saw it just last night at Clementi Florist and Aquarium Shop.You might want to go quickly cos last few pieces left.

BTW,heard rumours of a bigger Ecco Pro coming out in a new version in 2017.Don't know whether it's true or not.

Too bad Mr Eheim has already uplorried.....I saw him on YouTube in a interview with a very old model of Classic canister filter from the 1960s.Very retro.

I just use the regular clorox bleach (non-scented version) and follow the purigen recharging instructions.

Note that each time you recharge it the efficiency gradually decreases, so after a few recharges its best to replace it with a new pack. I usually recharge mine for around 3-4 times (depending on how fast it exhaust its capacity) before doing a new replacement.

Oh thank u bro. I wont be getting immediately because my bto reno should end next week therefore plenty of dust particles flying here and there. Maybe i will just wait.

One last thing.....Y618 sells Pro 3 cheaper than Seaview or C328 if you are getting one.Price is around $380.

Hey guys, is it normal if my ehem 2213 rattle abit when I start it up. e.g I on power, the 2213 will rattle and very quickly go silent.

Did you fill the canister with water? If you just cleaned the filter and left it without water, the impeller will rattle briefly before the water enters it from the inlet.

It rattle briefly even if it's filled with water. E.g I switch off 2213 for wc, switch it back on after that it will rattle briefly.

Thanks UA. I will try it out!

Thats normal, its just the initial kick effect by the impeller as it bounces off the internal sleeve when started. Once it spins and becomes stable, there will be no more sound.

As long as you only hear the click sound a split second at the start and after that its silent, its okay.

Ya that's how my 2213 behaved. Cause I am intending to change to a 2217, wanna make sure this ratting noise when start up is normal as I do not wanna sell a faulty equipment and listing it as working fine.

Hi bro thanks for sharing i saw the pro3 600 @ seaview at $400.

Hi guys, i've two noob question.

1. Is it possible to fit one largest eheim (lets say the big gun 1200XLT) to work on two tank 3×1.5×1.5 simultaneously?

2. Saw some bigger series with temperature control of 18 degree to 30 degree. Does that work as a chiller function lets say if i set it at 25 degree and it will maintained at the set temperature?

Just curious whether the spend that kind of money instead of a canister filter + chiller. Thank in advance

1. Both tank need an overflow system that will feed into a sump . From the sump , the filter output will be split into 2 display tank .

2. I think the model you saw was a heater built in , not a chiller .

There is another interesting method to share one canister filter with 2 tanks, but that requires a water bridge setup... both tanks are positioned side-by-side on same level, water bridge link both tanks, canister filter output in the 1st tank and intake in the 2nd tank. The water bridge would need to be large enough to keep the volumes in balance though, especially with large tank volumes and high flow canister filters.

Here is an example: http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...4-Water-Bridge

The potential issues with such setups is if the water bridge somehow fails or clog up, then water volume will become unbalance and one tank will fill up until it floods. Due to the arrangement, one tank will also have lots of flow while the other tank not much flow (though that can be solved with wave-makers or powerheads).

If you are looking at the XLT eheim canister filters, those come with integrated heater feature (not chiller). The temperature adjustment is only for warming up the water to 18-34°C... it does not perform cooling effects.
